Time Played
This chart displays the number of hours played in Drifter depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The reviews during the game's time in Early Access are visible too. The time in game is not bad at all, with 16 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 4.8 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 107 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 Drifter and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
