Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
This graph shows Maniac Mansion's Steam rating and reviews between December 2017 and December 2023. Steam's rating is varying from 58.3% (January 2018) to 85.8% (June 2023).
The 156 reviews suggest that Maniac Mansion might be a reasonable indie 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.
Review Languages
This doughnut chart shows Maniac Mansion's review languages. The most popular language is English (65%), followed by Spanish - Spain (9%). There is a healthy diversity in the review languages, with 16 different languages represented. The game has been translated in only one language (English), it's always good to have more translations to access other markets.
Time Played
This chart displays the time played in Maniac Mansion, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is decent, reaching 8 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 3.4 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 62 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 Maniac Mansion and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.

Take into account that list was generated using AI on a small sample of Maniac Mansion's Steam review data, it is not meant to be exhaustive. Moreover, be aware that problems aren't always meant to be solved. Communicating clearly and managing the player's expectations is important too!
