Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

This chart shows Dropsy's Steam rating and reviews from September 2015 to December 2023. Steam's rating is in a range going from 99.3% (September 2015) to 93.4% (December 2023).

With 1.9K reviews Top 10%, Dropsy could be an indie success or even a small AAA success. 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.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the number of hours played in Dropsy, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 9 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 4.3 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 88 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 Dropsy and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
