The 569 reviews Top 20% suggest that Radiation Island might be an indie success or even a small AAA success. The chart suggests a long tail distribution, which could mean that the game was promoted at laucnch but that there were no more marketing, update or major discounts after that point.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the time players have spent in Radiation Island depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is not bad at all, with 19 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 6 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 100 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 Radiation Island and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
