Of the 493 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 17 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 3,162 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 221 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 17 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 235 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 25 percent of everything written about it.
