What the data shows
- In the first 2 hours almost 1 in 2 reviews are negative (44%); after 3h it's 1 in 7 (13%).

- Only 44% of owners have even the first achievement — the rest barely played.

Based on all 2,778 Steam reviews in every language. Median playtime in a sample of 294 reviews: 3.2h for positive, 1.1h 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.
Where players quit
Share of players who started the game and reached each story milestone. 100% is the most common achievement (44.2% of owners), so people who bought the game and never launched it don't count.
This game has no story achievements, so we can't tell where players quit.
