Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
This chart shows Killer Instinct's Steam rating and reviews from September 2017 to December 2023. Steam's rating is in a range going from 94.3% (September 2017) to 88.1% (September 2018).
The 4.5K reviews Top 5% suggest that Killer Instinct is an AAA level success. The chart suggests a long tail distribution, which could mean that the game was promoted at laucnch but that there were no more marketing, update or major discounts after that point.
Review Languages
This donut chart displays the languages of Killer Instinct's reviewers. The most popular language is English (50%), followed by Spanish - Spain (15%). There is a nice diversity in the reviews, with 23 languages represented. The game is translated in 8 languages, which is nice.
Time Played
This chart displays the number of hours played in Killer Instinct, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time in game is excellent, with 38 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 10 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 77 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 Killer Instinct and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours.
