Time Played
This chart displays the time played in Prototype™, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time in game is not bad at all, with 27 hours in the 80th percentile.
The median play time for the negative reviews is 7.1 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 123 minutes) can mean that the game crashes on some systems or that the type of gameplay was not completely clear to the players (Is the game unmistakably explained on the Steam Store ?). It is also possible that players were otherwise displeased by Prototype™ and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.

Take into account that list was generated using AI on a small sample of Prototype™'s Steam review data, it is not meant to be exhaustive. Additionally, remember that not all issues need to be fixed, sometimes the best approach is to communicate better to manage the player's expectations.
