Rating and Reviews (Monthly)

The 1.2K reviews Top 15% suggest that The Way might be an indie success or even a small AAA success. The graph seems to be a long tailed distribution. That sometimes means that the marketing efforts were concentrated on the game launch, and that there was no major update or discounts after.
