Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

This graph shows Potionomics's Steam rating and reviews between October 2022 and December 2023. Steam's rating is in a narrow range going from 87.2% (October 2022) to 89.9% (January 2023).

The 5K reviews Top 5% suggest that Potionomics is an AAA level 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.
