Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of The Planet Crafter steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This chart shows The Planet Crafter's Steam rating and reviews from March 2022 to December 2023. Steam's rating is in a very narrow range going from 95.2% (March 2022) to 96.5% (November 2022).

With 25K reviews Top 2%, The Planet Crafter is definitely a major AAA level success. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.
