This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 60 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written October 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 651 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 25 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 60 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 44 percent of the 533 reviews written there were positive, against 72 percent overall, and those are 20 percent of everything written about it.
