There is a healthy diversity in the review languages, with 18 different languages represented. The game is translated in 6 languages.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the number of hours played in Poi, 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 negative reviews play time is 5.6 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 102 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 Poi 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.
