Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
This graph shows Waking's Steam rating and reviews between June 2020 and December 2023. Steam's rating is in a range going from 76.7% (November 2020) to 52.5% (December 2023).
The 116 reviews suggest that Waking might be a reasonable indie success. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.
Review Languages
This donut graph displays the languages of Waking's Steam reviews. The most popular language is English (66%), followed by Portuguese - Brazil (7%). There is a healthy diversity in the review languages, with 14 different languages represented. The game has only one translation (English). Having more translations could have boosted the game's popularity.
Time Played
This chart displays the number of hours played in Waking, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is decent, reaching 6 hours in the 80th percentile.
The median play time for the negative reviews is 2.6 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 60 minutes) can mean that the game crashes on some systems or that the type of gameplay was not completely clear to the players (Is the game unmistakably explained on the Steam Store ?). It is also possible that players were otherwise displeased by Waking and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
