Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

This chart shows Oxygen's Steam rating and reviews from April 2023 to December 2023. Steam's rating is in a narrow range going from 84.5% (April 2023) to 80.1% (September 2023).

With 460 reviews Top 20%, Oxygen could be a decent indie success. The graph seems to be a long tailed distribution. That sometimes means that the marketing efforts were concentrated on the game launch, and that there was no major update or discounts after.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the number of hours played in Oxygen, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time played is very good, reaching 33 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is similar to the median for positive reviews, hinting that there is no significant difference in the player's experience and that is more a question of personal taste. The negative review time is high (median is 10 hours), it can be a sign that Oxygen crashes after a while or becomes too repetitive or difficult towards the end. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
