- 98% of owners got the first achievement.
When it gets good

before it gets good opening up fully opened up
Based on all 333 Steam reviews in every language. Median playtime in a sample of 286 reviews: 1.9h for positive, 1.3h 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
