Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of Across the Rhine steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This chart shows Across the Rhine's Steam rating and reviews from November 2014 to September 2022. Steam's rating is in a range going from 43.7% (August 2017) to 58.6% (May 2022).

With 30 reviews, Across the Rhine could be a success for a hobbyist, or a small indie success if it didn't take too long to produce. 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.

The negative reviews play time is 2.4 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 31 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 Across the Rhine and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
