Players rate it 82 percent positive over its lifetime, and the last 30 days run 93 percent. It is aging into a better game than its average suggests. 40 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2024 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 84 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 6 of the 40 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 1,965 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.
