Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
Here you can see Rogue's Steam rating and reviews between October 2020 and December 2023. Steam's rating is in a very narrow range going from 97.8% (November 2020) to 95.9% (June 2022).
With 366 reviews Top 25%, Rogue could be a decent indie success. The chart suggests a long tail distribution, which could mean that the game was promoted at laucnch but that there were no more marketing, update or major discounts after that point.
Review Languages
This donut chart displays the languages of Rogue's reviewers. The most popular language is English (71%), followed by Russian (7%). The player's languages are well diversified, with 14 different languages appearing in the reviews. The game has only one translation (English). Having more translations could have boosted the game's popularity.
Time Played
This chart displays the number of hours played in Rogue, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 8 hours in the 80th percentile.
The median play time for the negative reviews is 4.1 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 27 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 Rogue and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
