Time Played

Chart displaying System Shock: Enhanced Edition percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time played in System Shock: Enhanced Edition depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time played is adequate, reaching 27 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 11 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 96 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 System Shock: Enhanced Edition and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
