Time Played

Chart displaying Meridian: New World percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the number of hours played in Meridian: New World, 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 10 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 1.9 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 145 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 Meridian: New World and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
