Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of Final Approach steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This graph shows Final Approach's Steam rating and reviews between April 2016 and June 2023. Steam's rating is relatively stable, varying from 98.4% (April 2016) to 93.9% (February 2022).

With its 352 reviews Top 25%, Final Approach could be considered a decent success for an indie game. The chart is compatible with a long tailed distribution, which suggests there was a good visibility at launch but that it was not followed by significant updates or discounts.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the time played in Final Approach depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is acceptable, with 7 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 6.8 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 32 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 Final Approach and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
