Time Played

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

This chart displays the time players have spent in Frozen Cortex, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. You can also see the reviews during the Early Access phase. The time in game is not bad at all, with 27 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 5.3 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 148 minutes) can mean that the game crashes on some systems or that the type of gameplay was not completely clear to the players (Is the game unmistakably explained on the Steam Store ?). It is also possible that players were otherwise displeased by Frozen Cortex and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
