Time Played

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

This chart displays the time played in Burning Knight depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is not bad at all, with 21 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is similar to the median for positive reviews, hinting that there is no significant difference in the player's experience and that is more a question of personal taste. The negative review time is high (median is 6 hours), it can be a sign that Burning Knight crashes after a while or becomes too repetitive or difficult towards the end. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
