Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

This chart shows ArcRunner's Steam rating and reviews from April 2023 to December 2023. Steam's rating is in a range going from 83% (April 2023) to 75.2% (November 2023).

With 187 reviews Top 30%, ArcRunner could be a decent indie success. The chart is compatible with a long tailed distribution, which suggests there was a good visibility at launch but that it was not followed by significant updates or discounts.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the number of hours played in ArcRunner, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time in game is not bad at all, with 15 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 5.7 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 85 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 ArcRunner 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.
