Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

This chart shows Renoir's Steam rating and reviews from November 2016 to November 2023. Steam's rating varies from 81.8% (December 2016) to 45.2% (April 2021).

The 132 reviews suggest that Renoir might be a reasonable indie success. The graph seems to be a long tailed distribution. That sometimes means that the marketing efforts were concentrated on the game launch, and that there was no major update or discounts after.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the time played in Renoir, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is decent, reaching 10 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 2.9 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 146 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 Renoir and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
