How this page counts
- The hours
- Half of its Steam reviewers had played 40 hours or less when they gave their verdict. The middle half sat between 13 hours and 105 hours. One bead is 1% of its Steam reviews, standing at the hours its author had played. Counted from about 558,000 Steam reviews, by the hours each author had played when they wrote theirs. It is not a time to beat.
- The price
- At Steam's US list price of $29.99, the typical player's 40 hours come to 75¢ an hour. Past the two-hour refund window, 94% of its Steam reviewers recommend it. 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.
- 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.
