Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of Gal-X-E steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This chart shows Gal-X-E's Steam rating and reviews from May 2016 to December 2023. Steam's rating is varying from 86.4% (July 2023) to 97.5% (March 2017).

With 83 reviews, Gal-X-E might be a minor indie success if it was made quickly. The chart suggests a long tail distribution, which could mean that the game was promoted at laucnch but that there were no more marketing, update or major discounts after that point.

Time Played

Chart displaying Gal-X-E percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time played in Gal-X-E, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 6 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is similar to the median for positive reviews, hinting that there is no significant difference in the player's experience and that is more a question of personal taste. When the negative review time is low (median : 144 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 Gal-X-E and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
