This chart displays the time players have spent in Panzer Doctrine depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The reviews during the game's time in Early Access are visible too. The time in game is outstanding, with 73 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is similar to the median for positive reviews, hinting that there is no significant difference in the player's experience and that is more a question of personal taste. Some players have left a negative review after playing a significant amount of time (37 hours in the 80th percentile) which could mean that a part of Panzer Doctrine's fanbase was unhappy about an update and review bombed the game. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
