More about Battlefield 4™

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 10 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 47 percent of the 5,025 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it. It carries the aggressive kind of in-app purchases, and the score already docks it for that. The sticker price is where the spending starts.

6.2 hours to finish it, 18 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.8 times the campaign.
