Review Languages
This donut chart displays the languages of Z.A.R.'s reviewers. The most popular language is English (62%), followed by Russian (22%). There is a healthy diversity in the review languages, with 11 different languages represented.

Time Played
This chart displays the time players have spent in Z.A.R. depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time played is decent, reaching 7 hours in the 80th percentile.
The median play time for the negative reviews is 6 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 20 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 Z.A.R. and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
