Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of Arctic alive steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

Here you can see Arctic alive's Steam rating and reviews between January 2016 and February 2023. Steam's rating oscillates between 63.1% (February 2016) and 50% (January 2017).

Considering the 55 reviews, and if it didn't take too long to make the game, Arctic alive could be a small indie success. The graph seems to be a long tailed distribution. That sometimes means that the marketing efforts were concentrated on the game launch, and that there was no major update or discounts after.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 6.6 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 47 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 Arctic alive and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
