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

This chart displays the number of hours played in BadLads, comparing positive and negative reviews. The reviews during the game's time in Early Access are visible too. The time played is very good, reaching 38 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 19 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 35 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 BadLads and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
