Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

This graph shows Outbreak's Steam rating and reviews between January 2017 and December 2023. Steam's rating is in a range going from 75% (January 2017) to 58.1% (February 2020).

With 126 reviews, Outbreak could be a decent indie success. 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 Outbreak and the proportion of players they represent.

This donut graph displays the languages of Outbreak's Steam reviews. The most popular language is English (78%), followed by Russian (5%). There is a healthy diversity in the review languages, with 15 different languages represented. The game has only one translation (English). Having more translations could have boosted the game's popularity.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the number of hours played in Outbreak, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 7 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 4.7 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 46 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 Outbreak and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
