Review Languages
This donut graph displays the languages of LUFTRAUSERS's Steam reviews. The most popular language is English (76%), followed by Simplified Chinese (5%). There is a nice diversity in the reviews, with 23 languages represented. The game has only one translation (English). Having more translations could have boosted the game's popularity.
Time Played
This chart displays the number of hours played in LUFTRAUSERS, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 12 hours in the 80th percentile.
The median play time for the negative reviews is 2.5 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 147 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by LUFTRAUSERS and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
