Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

This chart shows Quarantine's Steam rating and reviews from February 2017 to November 2023. Steam's rating oscillates between 69% (March 2017) and 57.6% (May 2019).

With its 417 reviews Top 20%, Quarantine could be considered a decent success for an indie game. 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
 

Donut graph showing review languages for Quarantine and the proportion of players they represent.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the time players have spent in Quarantine depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The reviews during the game's time in Early Access are visible too. The time in game is acceptable, with 6 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 2.3 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 77 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 Quarantine and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
