The median play time for the negative reviews is 4.2 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 123 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 ?).
