With its 234.3K reviews Top 1%, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is indisputably a major AAA level success. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.

The median play time for the negative reviews is similar to the median for positive reviews, hinting that there is no significant difference in the player's experience and that is more a question of personal taste. Some players have left a negative review after playing a significant amount of time (311 hours in the 80th percentile) which could mean that a part of Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord's fanbase was unhappy about an update and review bombed the game. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
