More about Racine
Of the 212 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2023 to July 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,174 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 12 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 7 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review.
