This chart displays the time played in One Way Heroics, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is great, reaching 50 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 10 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 88 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 One Way Heroics and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
