Time Played

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

This chart displays the number of hours played in BioShock Infinite depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is excellent, with 32 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. A high negative review play time (median : 13 hours) could mean that BioShock Infinite crashes after a while or becomes too repetitive or difficult in the end.
