Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of Please Be Happy steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This chart shows Please Be Happy's Steam rating and reviews from November 2022 to December 2023. Steam's rating is in a very narrow range going from 98.3% (November 2022) to 99.1% (December 2023).

With 243 reviews Top 30%, Please Be Happy could be a decent indie success. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.
