More about '83

This site sampled 746 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 65 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2026 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 798 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 13 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 9 of the 65 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. In its first 30 days on sale, 38 of 367 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 52 percent of the 677 reviews written there were positive, against 63 percent overall, and those are 55 percent of everything written about it.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • Player count is unknown. We assumed a small player base, about 500 owners.
Holding it back
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones. Scored as 64% after the small-sample adjustment
Refunds65 of 746 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
Early accessUnfinished
Still in development, a small confidence discount until 1.0
For context
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

About the game

'83 is a 40v40 squad based, objective focused online tactical first person shooter set in a Cold-War-Gone-Hot scenario. It's designed with 'accessible realism' for the most enjoyable, but still hardcore experience that gets you to the action fast, without losing the lethality of war.
