The median play time for the negative reviews is 2.6 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 87 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 ?).

You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
