The median play time for the negative reviews is 6.9 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 109 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 ?).
