Time Played

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

This chart displays the number of hours played in BalanCity, comparing positive and negative reviews. It also shows the reviews during Early Access. The time in game is acceptable, with 12 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 2.9 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 112 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 BalanCity and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
