Time Played

Chart displaying Black Skylands percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time players have spent in Black Skylands depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The reviews during the game's time in Early Access are visible too. The time in game is not bad at all, with 29 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is similar to the median for positive reviews, hinting that there is no significant difference in the player's experience and that is more a question of personal taste. The negative review time is high (median is 13 hours), it can be a sign that Black Skylands crashes after a while or becomes too repetitive or difficult towards the end. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
