Time Played

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

This chart displays the time played in Creatura depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. It also shows the reviews during Early Access. The time played is very good, reaching 30 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 15 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 50 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 Creatura and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
