Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
This chart shows Primal Light's Steam rating and reviews from July 2020 to December 2023. Steam's rating oscillates between 94.9% (August 2020) and 82.4% (November 2023).
With 378 reviews Top 25%, Primal Light could be a decent indie success. The chart is compatible with a long tailed distribution, which suggests there was a good visibility at launch but that it was not followed by significant updates or discounts.
Review Languages
This doughnut chart shows Primal Light's review languages. The most popular language is English (54%), followed by Portuguese - Brazil (11%). There is a nice diversity in the reviews, with 19 languages represented. The game has been translated in 13 languages.
Time Played
This chart displays the time players have spent in Primal Light, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 8 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 5 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 54 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 Primal Light and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.

Please take this list with a grain of salt, as this is an AI generated list based on a small sample of Primal Light's review data provided by Steam. Additionally, remember that not all issues need to be fixed, sometimes the best approach is to communicate better to manage the player's expectations.
