I have some similar reviews with 0 hours because I usually play a cracked version of the game and then buy it if i like it just to support the dev. Maybe that’s what was going on here.
Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game

is the time shown on steam reviews accurate? cause i’d guess that it takes more than 12 minutes for a casual player to finish half-life 2
in fact i checked and the world record in speedrunning is around 36 minutes lol

that makes sense. maybe the mod they installed causes steam to not count the hours.

If you play in offline mode (Steam Deck) Steam doesn‘t clock your playtime IIRC

Afaik it does if it resyncs. Just takes a while to update

If you launch the game outside steam the time isn’t accounted. I know this because I love playing Timespinner with a randomizer. Inside steam I have 40h of played time. If the timer counted my randomizer sessions I’d have at least 4x that

Lots of mods for older games circumvent steam, so steam does not know about the game running. Famous example was Skyrim and Skyrim script extender. If this is the case with mmod idk
