Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

This graph shows The List's Steam rating and reviews between June 2021 and October 2023. Steam's rating is in a range going from 90.6% (July 2021) to 79.1% (October 2023).

With 91 reviews, The List could be a small indie success if it didn't take too long to produce. 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.
