Review Languages
This doughnut chart shows The Corporate Machine's review languages. The most popular language is English (80%), followed by French (5%). There is a healthy diversity in the review languages, with 10 different languages represented. The game has only one translation (English). Having more translations could have boosted the game's popularity.
Time Played
This chart displays the number of hours played in The Corporate Machine, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is adequate, reaching 19 hours in the 80th percentile.
The median play time for the negative reviews is 8 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 50 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 The Corporate Machine and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
