Of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 35 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2025 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 283 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 49 percent of the 972 reviews written there were positive, against 76 percent overall, and those are 19 percent of everything written about it.
