Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

This graph shows City of Beats's Steam rating and reviews between May 2023 and December 2023. Steam's rating is in a range going from 96.7% (May 2023) to 88.1% (December 2023).

Considering the 93 reviews, and if it didn't take too long to make the game, City of Beats could be a small 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.

There is diversity in the review languages, with 8 languages represented. The game is translated in 6 languages.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the number of hours played in City of Beats depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is acceptable, with 6 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 3.7 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 53 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 City of Beats 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.
