Time Played
This chart displays the number of hours played in Rocket Knight, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 6 hours in the 80th percentile.
The median play time for the negative reviews is 2.3 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 88 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 Rocket Knight and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
