Time Played

The negative reviews play time is 16 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 65 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 Arx Fatalis and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
