Time Played

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

This chart displays the time played in Influent depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time played is decent, reaching 10 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 5.3 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 52 minutes) can mean that the game crashes on some systems or that the type of gameplay was not completely clear to the players (Is the game unmistakably explained on the Steam Store ?). It is also possible that players were otherwise displeased by Influent and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
