Time Played

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

This chart displays the time played in Distance, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. You can also see the reviews during the Early Access phase. The time played is very good, reaching 38 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 5.5 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 121 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 Distance and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
