Time Played

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

This chart displays the time players have spent in Day of Defeat depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is outstanding, with 97 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 25 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 26 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 Day of Defeat and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
