It's one year after the collapse of civilization and self-centered hedge fund manager Joe Wheeler emerges from his specially constructed bunker in search of food. This is a huge open-world RPG where you have the freedom to play how you want - but your choices have consequences.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the time players have spent in Survivalist, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is great, reaching 59 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 22 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 70 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 Survivalist and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
