Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
This chart shows Hyper Box's Steam rating and reviews from February 2016 to December 2023. Steam's rating is in a range going from 92.8% (February 2016) to 76% (April 2021).
With 75 reviews, Hyper Box might be a minor indie success if it was made quickly. 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.
Review Languages
This doughnut chart shows Hyper Box's review languages. The most popular language is English (59%), followed by Turkish (15%). There is a nice diversity in the reviews, with 12 languages represented. The game has only one translation (English). Having more translations could have boosted the game's popularity.
Time Played
This chart displays the number of hours played in Hyper Box, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The reviews during the game's time in Early Access are visible too. The time played is decent, reaching 5 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 17 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 11 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 Hyper Box and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.

The intention behind these pros & cons isn't to establish a balanced evaluation of the game, but rather to assist developers in identifying enhancement opportunities. The game's 76.9% rating should be factored in during their evaluation.
Please keep in mind that this list was AI-generated with only a statistical sample of Hyper Box's review data that Steam provides. Moreover, be aware that problems aren't always meant to be solved. Communicating clearly and managing the player's expectations is important too!
