Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
Here you can see The Underground Man's Steam rating and reviews between September 2016 and December 2023. Steam's rating is varying from 93.1% (September 2016) to 80.6% (December 2023).
The 1.4K reviews Top 10% suggest that The Underground Man might be an indie success or even a small AAA success. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.

The player's languages are well diversified, with 15 different languages appearing in the reviews.

Time Played
This chart displays the time played in The Underground Man depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time played is decent, reaching 10 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 10 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 39 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 The Underground Man and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
