Time Played

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

This chart displays the time players have spent in Damnation, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 11 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 5.3 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 93 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 Damnation and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
