The negative reviews play time is 7.1 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 53 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 Return to Mysterious Island and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
