Reviewer Lifetime Playtime

Lifetime playtime reported by Steam for 500 sampled reviewers when the data was collected - non-reviewing owners excluded.

Mean and median are close - lifetime playtime is roughly symmetric across sampled reviewers, with no extreme outliers skewing the average. Most reviewers invest a similar amount of time. The game likely has a natural stopping point - a story ending, a skill ceiling, or a genre convention - that the majority reaches before putting it down.
