Time Played

Chart displaying I Am Overburdened percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the number of hours played in I Am Overburdened depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is excellent, with 31 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 14 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 48 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 I Am Overburdened and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.

Players' Feedback

Game's StrengthsGame's Weaknesses
  • Runs are quite addicting
  • Great little game best played with mouse-only
  • Runs are short (~30 minutes give or take)
  • Good Achievement hunter
  • Certainly a fresh take on the genre with a nice mix of novel mechanics
  • Price point is beyond fair considering you can easily get half-a-dozen hours out of this, if not more
  • I like the main hub area with all the options, unlockables, lore, loadout items, and more
  • This is a really neat project that could be greatly expanded upon
  • Pixel art graphics which are pleasant to look at
  • Really good price tag for the fun you will get out of it.
  • Wish the tiles of dead enemies were more clear
  • Had trouble discerning wall from floor tiles in some of the later levels
  • Walking animation really needs a speed-up option

It's important to understand that this list of positives and negatives is not an unbiased evaluation of the game. Its purpose is to support developers in understanding what their players want. The game's score of 87% should be considered while evaluating them.

Please keep in mind that this list was AI-generated with only a statistical sample of I Am Overburdened's review data that Steam provides. You don't always need to solve every issue. What some players hate might be what your fanbase loves.
