Time Played

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

This chart displays the number of hours played in Drakensang, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time in game is outstanding, with 95 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 22 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 133 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 Drakensang and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
