Time Played

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

This chart displays the time played in Surviving West, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The reviews during the game's time in Early Access are visible too. The time in game is acceptable, with 11 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 2.9 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 61 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 Surviving West and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
