Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This graph shows Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy's Steam rating and reviews between November 2017 and December 2023. Steam's rating is relatively stable, varying from 96.7% (November 2017) to 92.2% (September 2021).

The 531 reviews Top 20% suggest that Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy might be an indie success or even a small AAA 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 Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time played in Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time played is adequate, reaching 28 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 12 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 89 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 Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
