Time Played

This chart displays the number of hours played in STAR WARS™ Starfighter™, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 6 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 7.5 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 28 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 ?).

The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
