More about PANICORE
54 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2025 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 1,176 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 5 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 4 of the 54 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 43 percent of the 2,681 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 25 percent of everything written about it.
