The negative reviews median playtime closely matches the median for positive reviews, meaning that there is no major difference between the players' experiences and the reviews probably reflect personal preferences more than anything else. A low negative review time (median : 148 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 Piko Piko and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
