Review Languages
This doughnut chart shows Broken Age's review languages. The most popular language is English (77%), followed by Russian (6%).

Time Played
This chart displays the time played in Broken Age depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is not bad at all, with 17 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. A high negative review play time (median : 10 hours) could mean that Broken Age crashes after a while or becomes too repetitive or difficult in the end. You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
