What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.
Holding it back
Reviews68% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Refunds28 of 761 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is
For context
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

More about AirportSim

This site sampled 761 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 28 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written October 2023 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 2,597 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 236 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 4 of the 28 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 37 percent of the 162 reviews written there were positive, against 68 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.
