The negative reviews play time is 2.5 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 115 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 ?).

The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
