- Fully opens up by hour 3.
- The opening is criticised more than in 83% of games we track.
- The game has no story achievements, so drop-off points can't be measured.

before it gets good opening up fully opened up
Based on all 4,697 Steam reviews in every language. Median playtime in a sample of 300 reviews: 2h for positive, 0.9h 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.
