How this page counts
- The hours
- Half of its Steam reviewers had played 3.5 hours or less when they gave their verdict. The middle half sat between 2.5 hours and 5 hours. One bead is 1% of its Steam reviews, standing at the hours its author had played. Counted from about 18,300 Steam reviews, by the hours each author had played when they wrote theirs. It is not a time to beat.
- Then and now
- One token is 2% of the reviews first posted in its first 30 days, and in the last 12 months. Each counts with the verdict it carries today, so a review its author has since changed shows the new one. The biggest comebacks and falls.
- Everyone's copy
- Counted from the Steam libraries read here, not from all of Steam's players.
