Time Played

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

This chart displays the time played in FISHERY, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. It also shows the reviews during Early Access. The time played is adequate, reaching 18 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 7.3 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 51 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 FISHERY and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
