More about Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader
Steam's global achievement data puts about 17 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 72.2-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 799 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 10 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 701 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 2 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.
The main story runs 72.2 hours. Doing everything runs 158, 2.2 times as long.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.
