Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of Sail Forth steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This graph shows Sail Forth's Steam rating and reviews between December 2022 and December 2023. Steam's rating is in a narrow range going from 95.2% (March 2023) to 92.9% (September 2023).

With its 367 reviews Top 25%, Sail Forth could be considered a decent success for an indie game. The graph seems to be a long tailed distribution. That sometimes means that the marketing efforts were concentrated on the game launch, and that there was no major update or discounts after.

Review Languages

This doughnut chart shows Sail Forth's review languages. The most popular language is English (89%), followed by Simplified Chinese (5%). There is a healthy diversity in the review languages, with 11 different languages represented. The game is translated in 5 languages.

Time Played

Chart displaying Sail Forth percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the number of hours played in Sail Forth depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time played is adequate, reaching 21 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 13 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 48 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by Sail Forth and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
