Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of Gal*Gun Returns steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

Here you can see Gal*Gun Returns's Steam rating and reviews between February 2021 and December 2023. Steam's rating is in a range going from 93.1% (February 2021) to 84.2% (June 2023).

Time Played

Chart displaying Gal*Gun Returns percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the number of hours played in Gal*Gun Returns depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time played is adequate, reaching 16 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 3.1 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 143 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 Gal*Gun Returns and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.

  • similar to retro light-gun games
  • heroine with unique qualities
  • no mouse input in menus
  • hard-coded resolution values
  • 30FPS cap during boss fights and menus
  • inconsistent hit detection

The intention behind these pros & cons isn't to establish a balanced evaluation of the game, but rather to assist developers in identifying enhancement opportunities. The game's rating of 86.8% should be taken into account when assessing them.

Please keep in mind that this list was AI-generated with only a statistical sample of Gal*Gun Returns's review data that Steam provides. You don't always need to solve every issue. What some players hate might be what your fanbase loves.
