Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

Here you can see The Companion's Steam rating and reviews between May 2021 and December 2023. Steam's rating oscillates between 86.3% (May 2021) and 74.2% (November 2021).

With 90 reviews, The Companion might be a minor indie success if it was made quickly. 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.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the time players have spent in The Companion, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is decent, reaching 8 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 3.1 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 119 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 The Companion and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
