Time Played

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

This chart displays the time played in Metal Drift, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time in game is not bad at all, with 26 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 9 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 61 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 Metal Drift and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
