Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

This graph shows Xenon Valkyrie's Steam rating and reviews between February 2017 and December 2023. Steam's rating oscillates between 77.1% (February 2017) and 66.1% (September 2017).

With its 127 reviews, Xenon Valkyrie could be considered a decent success for an indie game. 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.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the time players have spent in Xenon Valkyrie depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time played is decent, reaching 12 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 4.4 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 66 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 Xenon Valkyrie and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
