Chart displaying Half-Life Deathmatch: Source percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time players have spent in Half-Life Deathmatch: Source, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 7 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 2.8 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 41 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 Half-Life Deathmatch: Source and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
