More about Manhunt

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 57 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2025 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 1,424 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 31 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 57 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 46 percent of the 3,348 reviews written there were positive, against 71 percent overall, and those are 40 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

Raising the score
Cost per hour$0.92/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
Holding it back
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Refunds57 of 800 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
For context
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

Not quite as disturbing as the sequel. Still, it's a pretty fun game with an interesting story and unique mechanics!
