It's the future! And humanity is, predictably, under attack by extraterrestrial forces. Lucky for us we have an experimental ship that's never before been flown that will surely...uh, possibly...well, implausibly be able to win the war! All we need now is a pilot or two.

Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of Procyon steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This chart shows Procyon's Steam rating and reviews from February 2014 to November 2023. Steam's rating is in a range going from 100% (February 2014) to 87.5% (August 2016).

With its 123 reviews, Procyon could be considered a decent success for an indie game. The chart is compatible with a long tailed distribution, which suggests there was a good visibility at launch but that it was not followed by significant updates or discounts.

Review Languages
 

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

This doughnut graph shows Procyon's reviewers languages. The most popular language is English (58%), followed by Simplified Chinese (10%). There is a nice diversity in the reviews, with 12 languages represented. The game has only one translation (English). Having more translations could have boosted the game's popularity.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the number of hours played in Procyon depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is acceptable, with 5 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 : 84 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 Procyon and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
