- Few early reviews, so this is a rough estimate.
- Only 13% of owners have even the first achievement — the rest barely played.

Based on all 419 Steam reviews in every language. Median playtime in a sample of 296 reviews: 31.9h for positive, 41.9h 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.
