Review Languages
This doughnut chart shows STARWHAL's review languages. The most popular language is English (92%), followed by French (2%). The player's languages are well diversified, with 17 different languages appearing in the reviews. 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 number of hours played in STARWHAL, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The reviews during the game's time in Early Access are visible too. The time in game is acceptable, with 8 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 2.5 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 95 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 STARWHAL and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
