With 810 reviews Top 15%, Inertial Drift could be an indie success or even a small AAA success. The chart suggests a long tail distribution, which could mean that the game was promoted at laucnch but that there were no more marketing, update or major discounts after that point.
Review Languages

Time Played
This chart displays the number of hours played in Inertial Drift, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time in game is not bad at all, with 23 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 7.4 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 73 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 Inertial Drift and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
