- The opening is criticised more than in 89% of games we track.
- The game has no story achievements, so drop-off points can't be measured.
- Only 66% of owners have even the first achievement — the rest barely played.

Based on all 2,552 Steam reviews in every language. Median playtime in a sample of 299 reviews: 30.9h for positive, 2.2h for negative.
