The median play time for the negative reviews is 3.6 times less than the median for positive reviews. 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 Wolfenstein 3D and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
