Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
This graph shows A-Train 8's Steam rating and reviews between November 2013 and December 2023. Steam's rating is varying from 50% (September 2014) to 38.2% (October 2016).
Considering the 60 reviews, and if it didn't take too long to make the game, A-Train 8 could be a small indie success. The March 2014 peak suggests that there was a major update or discount.
Review Languages
This doughnut chart shows A-Train 8's review languages. The most popular language is English (57%), followed by German (13%). There is a healthy diversity in the review languages, with 10 different languages represented. The game is translated in 5 languages. Considering that, unless the game is text-heavy, adding translations is not a lot of work compared to making a game, it is often a good idea to translate the game in many languages.
Time Played
This chart displays the time played in A-Train 8 depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is not bad at all, with 17 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 24 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 24 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 A-Train 8 and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
