Review Languages

The player's languages are well diversified, with 15 different languages appearing in the reviews. The game is translated in 7 languages.

Time Played

Chart displaying Eagle Island Twist percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the number of hours played in Eagle Island Twist, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time in game is not bad at all, with 27 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 4.3 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 125 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 Eagle Island Twist and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
