The negative reviews median playtime closely matches the median for positive reviews, meaning that there is no major difference between the players' experiences and the reviews probably reflect personal preferences more than anything else. When the negative review time is low (median : 125 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 Ion Assault and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
