Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of World of Contraptions steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This chart shows World of Contraptions's Steam rating and reviews from July 2020 to December 2023. Steam's rating is varying from 97.7% (September 2020) to 87.6% (December 2023).

Considering the 89 reviews, and if it didn't take too long to make the game, World of Contraptions could be a small 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.

Time Played

Chart displaying World of Contraptions percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time played in World of Contraptions depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. You can also see the reviews during the Early Access phase. The time played is adequate, reaching 17 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 8.6 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 73 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by World of Contraptions and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
