Considering the 83 reviews, and if it didn't take too long to make the game, Ganryu 2 could be a small indie success. The chart suggests a long tail distribution, which could mean that the game was promoted at laucnch but that there were no more marketing, update or major discounts after that point.

Chart displaying Ganryu 2 percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time played in Ganryu 2 depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is acceptable, with 7 hours in the 80th percentile.

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. When the negative review time is low (median : 104 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by Ganryu 2 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.
