Extinction (Steam Game)

This graph shows Extinction's Steam rating and reviews between April 2018 and October 2023. Steam's rating is varying from 20.4% (May 2018) to 31.6% (August 2020).

The 323 reviews Top 25% suggest that Extinction might be a reasonable 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.

This doughnut chart shows Extinction's review languages. The most popular language is English (57%), followed by Portuguese - Brazil (7%). There is a healthy diversity in the review languages, with 23 different languages represented. The game is translated in 6 languages. Considering that, unless the game is text-heavy, adding translations is not a lot of work compared to making a game, it is often a good idea to translate the game in many languages.

This chart displays the time played in Extinction, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is decent, reaching 7 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 4.2 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 78 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 Extinction and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours.
