Most distinctive niche

(?)

Among all this game's genres, this is the one where players have the most distinctive taste — they rate games very differently from the average Steam gamer, suggesting a more passionate, selective community. It's not about what the game is most tagged as — it's about which of its communities has the most opinionated audience.

Mean and median are close — playtime is roughly symmetric, with no extreme outliers skewing the average. Most players 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.
