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

This chart displays the time played in Hexodius, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is decent, reaching 6 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 4 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 71 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 Hexodius 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.
