Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

Here you can see de Blob's Steam rating and reviews between April 2017 and December 2023. Steam's rating oscillates between 98.3% (December 2017) and 88.3% (February 2023).

With 273 reviews Top 25%, de Blob could be a decent 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 de Blob percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time players have spent in de Blob, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time played is adequate, reaching 19 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 5.8 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 105 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 de Blob and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
