The value story
The value story
It has been discounted 10 times in the 17 months tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 40 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 81 percent. Alan Wake's American Nightmare ($8.99, scores 37) outscores it, and so does Quantum Break ($39.99, scores 51). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
More about FBC: Firebreak
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 93 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2025 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 798 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. 10 of the 93 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. In its first 30 days on sale, 67 of 312 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 41 percent of the 648 reviews written there were positive, against 64 percent overall, and those are 33 percent of everything written about it.
