Review Languages
 

Donut graph showing review languages for Arctico and the proportion of players they represent.

This donut graph displays the languages of Arctico's Steam reviews. The most popular language is English (59%), followed by Russian (11%). There is a nice diversity in the reviews, with 26 languages represented. The game is translated in 4 languages.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the number of hours played in Arctico depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The reviews during the game's time in Early Access are visible too. The time played is decent, reaching 8 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 2.9 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 91 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 Arctico and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
