Time Played
This chart displays the time players have spent in World of Goo depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is acceptable, with 11 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 3 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 99 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 World of Goo and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
