What the data shows
- In the first 2 hours 1 in 8 reviews are negative (13%); after 5h it's 1 in 15 (7%).
- The opening is criticised less than in 85% of games we track.
- The game has no story achievements, so drop-off points can't be measured.
- Only 6% of owners have even the first achievement — the rest barely played.

before it gets good opening up fully opened up
Based on all 6,820 Steam reviews in every language. Median playtime in a sample of 297 reviews: 8h for positive, 5h 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
