Review Languages
This donut graph displays the languages of Star Explorers's Steam reviews. The most popular language is English (78%), followed by Russian (7%). There is a healthy diversity in the review languages, with 13 different languages represented.

Time Played
This chart displays the time players have spent in Star Explorers depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. You can also see the reviews during the Early Access phase. The time in game is not bad at all, with 25 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 6.9 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 60 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 Star Explorers and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.

Please take this list with a grain of salt, as this is an AI generated list based on a small sample of Star Explorers's review data provided by Steam. You don't always need to solve every issue. What some players hate might be what your fanbase loves.
