Time Played

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

This chart displays the time played in Mechanic Escape, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 7 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews median playtime closely matches the median for positive reviews, meaning that there is no major difference between the players' experiences and the reviews probably reflect personal preferences more than anything else. When the negative review time is low (median : 148 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 Mechanic Escape and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
