Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
This graph shows Imagine Lifetimes's Steam rating and reviews between November 2020 and December 2023. Steam's rating is in a range going from 71.4% (December 2020) to 65% (October 2022).
The 119 reviews suggest that Imagine Lifetimes might be a reasonable indie success. The chart is compatible with a long tailed distribution, which suggests there was a good visibility at launch but that it was not followed by significant updates or discounts.
Review Languages
This donut graph displays the languages of Imagine Lifetimes's Steam reviews. The most popular language is English (72%), followed by Turkish (4%). There is a healthy diversity in the review languages, with 16 different languages represented. The game is translated in 5 languages. Considering that, unless the game is text-heavy, adding translations is not a lot of work compared to making a game, it is often a good idea to translate the game in many languages.
Time Played
This chart displays the number of hours played in Imagine Lifetimes, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 7 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 5 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 60 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 Imagine Lifetimes and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
