Give it 35 hours
What the data shows
- In the first 2 hours almost 1 in 3 reviews are negative (30%); after 35h it's 1 in 35 (3%).
- Few early reviews, so this is a rough estimate.
- 17% of players who start reach the ending.
- The biggest drop-off is between “Far Away Lands” (Teleport to a far away land) and “Unknown World”: from 49% to 20% of starters.
- Only 66% of owners have even the first achievement — the rest barely played.
When it gets good
Share of positive reviews by how many hours the reviewer had played when writing the review.
before it gets good opening up fully opened up
Based on all 2,631 Steam reviews in every language. Median playtime in a sample of 299 reviews: 52h for positive, 10.3h 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
