when a reviewer says a game is 15 hours, it's 10 hours
when a reviewer says a game is 10 hours, it's 6-7 hours
when a reviewer says a game is 6 hour, it's 4 hours

I always thought it was the other way around. At least, for the type of game I prefer, RPG and action game, it always is. Reviewer will rush to write their review without playing the side quest or exploring close to everything there is to explore.

Yeah its the other way around for me too.

Its gone both ways for me although I usually end up playing longer than what the reviews say. In some games, and I think R3 is one of them, the timer actually stops whenever the player dies and restarts a checkpoint. So if a player is playing for 10-15 minutes and then dies, those 10-15 minutes will not be counted on the stats page. That might have been what happened with the OP in this case.
