Review Languages
 

Donut graph showing review languages for Free Running and the proportion of players they represent.

This doughnut chart shows Free Running's review languages. The most popular language is English (54%), followed by Russian (13%). There is a healthy diversity in the review languages, with 11 different languages represented. The game is available in 5 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 Free Running percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time players have spent in Free Running, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time in game is not bad at all, with 16 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 8 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 60 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 Free Running and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.

Please take this list with a grain of salt, as this is an AI generated list based on a small sample of Free Running's review data provided by Steam. Moreover, be aware that problems aren't always meant to be solved. Communicating clearly and managing the player's expectations is important too!
