Time Played

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

This chart displays the time players have spent in HeXen II, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time in game is not bad at all, with 15 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 3.9 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 79 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 HeXen II 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.
