Time Played

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

This chart displays the number of hours played in Waste Walkers, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. It also shows the reviews during Early Access. The time in game is not bad at all, with 15 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 2.8 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 127 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 Waste Walkers and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
