One hour is more than enough to judge a game

This.

I think tutorials are fine, you can't help that, but I believe you're expecting a lot from the player to trudge through hours of boring/unexciting gameplay or take time to get used to controls or how to play just to get to the 'good bit' of the game that in the first place the player may not even like or enjoy! For me, you have to get me hooked somehow, be it story, characters, premise or gameplay, in the opening hours.
