Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones Scored as 82% after the small-sample adjustment
Refunds6 of 210 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock

More about Zombie Builder Defense 2

6 of the 210 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2023 to January 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,422 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 97 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 6 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review.
