Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
This graph shows Pulsen's Steam rating and reviews between July 2015 and November 2023. Steam's rating is varying from 100% (August 2015) to 76.4% (October 2019).
With 64 reviews, Pulsen could be a small indie success if it didn't take too long to produce. The chart suggests a long tail distribution, which could mean that the game was promoted at laucnch but that there were no more marketing, update or major discounts after that point.
Review Languages
This doughnut graph shows Pulsen's reviewers languages. The most popular language is English (78%), followed by Japanese (5%). There is a healthy diversity in the review languages, with 10 different languages represented. The game is translated in 4 languages. Considering that, unless the game is text-heavy, adding translations is not a lot of work compared to making a game, it is often a good idea to translate the game in many languages.
Time Played
This chart displays the time played in Pulsen, comparing positive and negative reviews. The reviews during the game's time in Early Access are visible too. The time in game is not bad at all, with 18 hours in the 80th percentile.
The median play time for the negative reviews is 6.8 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 68 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 Pulsen and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.

Take into account that list was generated using AI on a small sample of Pulsen's Steam review data, it is not meant to be exhaustive. Additionally, remember that not all issues need to be fixed, sometimes the best approach is to communicate better to manage the player's expectations.
