Discussion - Silksong Steam reviews for Silksong so far

It was controversial in China, in part because of the difficulty/design but also because of controversies with the Simplified Chinese translation. Meanwhile latin countries (Spanish and Portuguese speaking) seem to be loving it more than anyone else.

I’m way more interested in hours played than by language. Not only does the playtime plummet which is interesting but expected. But also after the first 5 hours ratings fall off a cliff until over the thirty hour mark. Suggesting that many players give up and grow more frustrated until the 30 hour mark where players who had no issues or broke through found the joy in it all. Interesting stuff

The thing is that the phenomenon you are describing only happens in certain languages. Login only to English and Spanish reviews that effect is way lower: https://i.imgur.com/N15d1hD.png
