Time Played
This chart displays the time played in Moonbase Alpha 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 median play time for the negative reviews is 3.3 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 49 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 Moonbase Alpha and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
