Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 25 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2025 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 698 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 43 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 32 percent of the 558 reviews written there were positive, against 70 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.
