before it gets good opening up fully opened up

Based on all 497 Steam reviews in every language. Median playtime in a sample of 300 reviews: 48.3h for positive, 21.9h for negative. Almost every game is rated lower in the first 2–3 hours: that window includes refunds and quick first impressions. What matters is how deep the dip is and how fast the game recovers.
