Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of Forgotten Fields steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This chart shows Forgotten Fields's Steam rating and reviews from April 2021 to September 2023. Steam's rating is varying from 96.4% (April 2021) to 87.9% (July 2023).

Considering the 85 reviews, and if it didn't take too long to make the game, Forgotten Fields could be a small indie success. The graph seems to be a long tailed distribution. That sometimes means that the marketing efforts were concentrated on the game launch, and that there was no major update or discounts after.

This doughnut graph shows Forgotten Fields's reviewers languages. The most popular language is English (79%), followed by Simplified Chinese (6%).

The game has been translated in only one language (English), it's always good to have more translations to access other markets.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the time played in Forgotten Fields depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time played is decent, reaching 5 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 4.2 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 51 minutes) can mean that the game crashes on some systems or that the type of gameplay was not completely clear to the players (Is the game unmistakably explained on the Steam Store ?). It is also possible that players were otherwise displeased by Forgotten Fields and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
