How this is counted

Half of its Steam reviewers had played 7 hours or less when they gave their verdict. The middle half sat between 1 hour and 27 hours.

One token is 1% of its Steam reviews, standing at the hours its author had played. Counted from about 648 Steam reviews, by the hours each author had played when they wrote theirs. It is not a time to beat.

33% of its reviews were written inside Steam's two-hour refund window, and 54% of those recommend it. After the window, 85% do. Of the players who gave it a thumbs-down, 40% were already past the window; the typical thumbs-down came 1 hour in.

How this is counted

At Steam's US list price of $6.99, the typical player's 7 hours come to $1.00 an hour. Past the two-hour refund window, 85% of its Steam reviewers recommend it. At $1.00 an hour, Anachronox is cheaper per hour than 199 of 276 JRPGs here: the typical one of 276 JRPGs here charges $1.47, so the same $6.99 buys 1.5× the hours.

The price is Steam's US list price for the game by itself: not a sale price, a bundle or what anyone paid. The hours are the ones its reviewers had played, not a time to beat. Its kind (JRPGs) is what the game is first, as a model that knows games named it once from a list of Steam's kinds (for a game it did not know, its strongest Steam tags name it), among the kinds with at least 20 priced games here; failing that, by its Steam genre. The going rate is the middle hourly cost of those games, and the receipt prices its typical hours at it. The words beside it compare it with its kind: loved is 90% recommending it or more, liked 80%, mixed 65%; it gets played when a quarter fewer of the owners read here never launched it than of its kind's typical game. Whether it holds up is drawn on the hours road above, and counts toward the one-word answer.

Where can I play Anachronox today?

On PC

Its own release still plays there: no collection or remaster needed.

  1. todayPC2001
How this is counted

From IGDB, found by its Steam app: the machines Anachronox came out on and the year it first reached each, and the collections, ports, remasters and remakes that carry it. A machine counts for today while it, or the one after it, still plays its games and its store sells them: Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series, PC and phones. A PC release from before 2005 counts as gone, unless Steam sells it. IGDB does not say when a store stopped selling a release, so a delisted one can still show here.

Would you like Anachronox?

Give the ball your Steam profile link or name. It reads the games you own most like Anachronox, how long each held you against the typical player, and how long Anachronox would take you. Public profiles only. No account needed, and no library is saved.

How this is counted

It reads how long you tend to stay: across every game you've played whose typical hours it knows (free games left out), how often you went past the typical player and how often you left before half their hours. It glows when you often stay past them, dims when you often leave early, and needs five played games to read at all. Then it shows the games you own most like this one, by the same measure as the shelf of games like it, each with your hours against the typical player's.

Why not a forecast for this game: on 36,766 Steam libraries, how a player did on games like one told little beyond how long they stay in games at all, so those games are shown as evidence and never scored. Nothing of the library is kept.

How this is counted

Its own series apart, where it plays alike; then the games sharing the most of its strongest Steam tags, genres and themes, the better known ahead among the about as alike. A model that knows games read the list once: the ones it said do not play like this game are left out, the closest come first. Under each name, what sets it apart from Anachronox: a kind of game it is that Anachronox is not, a feature its tags carry that Anachronox's barely do, how many hours people play it, how its reviewers feel. Each case wears the hours its own page leads with.
