Time Played

Chart displaying Team Fortress Classic percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time players have spent in Team Fortress Classic depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is not bad at all, with 20 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 5.3 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 44 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 Team Fortress Classic and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
