Time Played

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

This chart displays the time played in Sector Six, comparing positive and negative reviews. You can also see the reviews during the Early Access phase. The time in game is excellent, with 32 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 9 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 84 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 Sector Six and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
