Time Played

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

This chart displays the time players have spent in Eidolon depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is acceptable, with 10 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 6.8 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 49 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 Eidolon and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
