More about Aces of Thunder
81 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2026 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 2,368 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 9 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 7 of the 81 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. In its first 30 days on sale, 67 of 599 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 34 percent of the 577 reviews written there were positive, against 58 percent overall, and those are 49 percent of everything written about it.
