Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of Monorail Stories steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This chart shows Monorail Stories's Steam rating and reviews from September 2022 to December 2023. Steam's rating oscillates between 94.4% (October 2022) and 75.5% (December 2023).

With 45 reviews, Monorail Stories could be a success for a hobbyist, or a small indie success if it didn't take too long to produce. 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.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the time players have spent in Monorail Stories, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 6 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 1.7 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 91 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 Monorail Stories and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
