Time Played

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

This chart displays the number of hours played in Sub Command, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time in game is excellent, with 42 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 16 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 55 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 Sub Command 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.
