This site sampled 765 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 46 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2023 to August 2026.

The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 3 of the 46 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review.
