- The opening is criticised more than in 95% of games we track.
- The game has no story achievements, so drop-off points can't be measured.
- Only 11% of owners have even the first achievement — the rest barely played.

Based on all 1,040 Steam reviews in every language. Median playtime in a sample of 296 reviews: 3.6h for positive, 1.9h 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.
