The first 2 hours are a test
What the data shows
- In the first 2 hours 1 in 2 reviews are negative (63%); after 10h it's almost 1 in 3 (30%).
- Fully opens up by hour 10.
- The opening is criticised more than in 92% of games we track.
- Only 41% 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 2,321 Steam reviews in every language. Median playtime in a sample of 296 reviews: 22.4h for positive, 11.2h 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
