Time Played
This chart displays the time players have spent in The Solus Project, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The reviews during the game's time in Early Access are visible too. The time played is adequate, reaching 26 hours in the 80th percentile.
The median play time for the negative reviews is 6.6 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 144 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 The Solus Project and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
