Here you can see Anomalies's Steam rating and reviews between October 2016 and September 2023. Steam's rating is varying from 80% (November 2016) to 90.9% (May 2018).
With 58 reviews, Anomalies might be a minor indie success if it was made quickly. 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
This donut chart displays the languages of Anomalies's reviewers. The most popular language is English (60%), followed by Russian (10%). The player's languages are well diversified, with 11 different languages appearing in the reviews. The game has 2 translations (English and German), it's always good to have more translations to access other markets.
Time Played
This chart displays the time played in Anomalies, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 5 hours in the 80th percentile.
The median play time for the negative reviews is similar to the median for positive reviews, hinting that there is no significant difference in the player's experience and that is more a question of personal taste. A low negative review time (median : 68 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 Anomalies and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.

It's important to understand that this list of positives and negatives is not an unbiased evaluation of the game. Its purpose is to support developers in understanding what their players want. The game's rating of 81% should be taken into account when assessing them.
Take into account that list was generated using AI on a small sample of Anomalies'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!
