There is a nice diversity in the reviews, with 24 languages represented. The game is translated in 4 languages.

Time Played
This chart displays the time played in Syder Arcade depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is acceptable, with 8 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 2.4 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 97 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 Syder Arcade 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.
