The first 2 hours are a test
What the data shows
- In the first 2 hours 1 in 2 reviews are negative (50%); after 10h it's 1 in 12 (8%).
- Fully opens up by hour 10.
- The opening is criticised more than in 78% of games we track.
- The game has no story achievements, so drop-off points can't be measured.
- Only 20% of owners have even the first achievement — the rest barely played.

before it gets good opening up fully opened up
Based on all 3,329 Steam reviews in every language. Median playtime in a sample of 294 reviews: 17.8h for positive, 9.8h 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
