Time Played

Chart displaying Paths & Danger percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time played in Paths & Danger depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is not bad at all, with 16 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 4.3 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 71 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 Paths & Danger and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
