This donut graph displays the languages of Quake II's Steam reviews. The most popular language is English (66%), followed by Russian (8%).

Time Played

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

This chart displays the time players have spent in Quake II depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time played is adequate, reaching 23 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 4.5 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 131 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 Quake II 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.
