What the data shows
- 53% of first-hour reviews are positive — about the same as players with 20+ hours (58%).
- The game has no story achievements, so drop-off points can't be measured.
- Only 65% of owners have even the first achievement — the rest barely played.

Based on all 2,754,724 Steam reviews in every language. Median playtime in a sample of 5,099 reviews: 116.5h for positive, 162.1h 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.
