Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

The 189 reviews Top 30% suggest that Glitchpunk might be a reasonable indie success. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.

Review Languages
 

Donut graph showing review languages for Glitchpunk and the proportion of players they represent.

This doughnut graph shows Glitchpunk's reviewers languages. The most popular language is English (46%), followed by German (13%). The player's languages are well diversified, with 16 different languages appearing in the reviews. The game is translated in 7 languages. Considering that, unless the game is text-heavy, adding translations is not a lot of work compared to making a game, it is often a good idea to translate the game in many languages.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the number of hours played in Glitchpunk, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. It also shows the reviews during Early Access. The time in game is acceptable, with 5 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 1.8 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 80 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 Glitchpunk 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.
