Review Languages
 

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

This donut graph displays the languages of Shiny's Steam reviews. The most popular language is English (53%), followed by Portuguese - Brazil (19%). There is a healthy diversity in the review languages, with 12 different languages represented. The game is translated in 7 languages. Considering that, unless the game is text-heavy, adding translations is not a lot of work compared to making a game, it is often a good idea to translate the game in many languages.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the time played in Shiny, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is decent, reaching 6 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 3 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 87 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 Shiny and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
