Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

This graph shows Small World's Steam rating and reviews between December 2013 and December 2023. Steam's rating oscillates between 82.1% (October 2014) and 69% (December 2023).

With 1.4K reviews Top 10%, Small World could be an indie success or even a small AAA success. The chart suggests a long tail distribution, which could mean that the game was promoted at laucnch but that there were no more marketing, update or major discounts after that point.

Review Languages
 

Donut graph showing review languages for Small World and the proportion of players they represent.

This donut chart displays the languages of Small World's reviewers. The most popular language is English (72%), followed by French (9%). There is a healthy diversity in the review languages, with 24 different languages represented. The game is available in 7 languages. Unless the game has a lot of dialogues, translating is usually not a lot of work compared to completing a game, therefore adding more translations is generally recommended.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the time players have spent in Small World, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time in game is excellent, with 33 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 5 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 135 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 Small World 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.
