Time Played

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

This chart displays the time played in Jupiter Hell, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. It also shows the reviews during Early Access. The time in game is outstanding, with 79 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 13 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 109 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 Jupiter Hell and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
