Review Languages
This doughnut graph shows Vessel's reviewers languages. The most popular language is English (68%), followed by Russian (7%). There is a nice diversity in the reviews, with 19 languages represented. The game is available in 5 languages. Unless the game has a lot of dialogues, translating is usually not a lot of work compared to completing a game, therefore adding more translations is generally recommended.
Time Played
This chart displays the time players have spent in Vessel, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time in game is not bad at all, with 20 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 5.4 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 134 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 Vessel and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
