Share of positive reviews by how many hours the reviewer had played when writing the review.

Based on all 736 Steam reviews in every language. Median playtime in a sample of 293 reviews: 4.8h for positive, 1.8h 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.
