More about Rising Storm 2: Vietnam

17 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2024 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 798 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 319 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 47 percent of the 2,892 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, free-to-grind); the score docks it lightly for that.

Its fun, I wish there was a larger player base though. Kind of annoying when you get killed right away because every other guy has played since like 2019

What really makes this game stand out is the maps. They're not just good-looking, they're actually authentic. A lot of modern Vietnam War games are obsessed with graphics, but then completely miss the Indochina architectural details and overall vibe of Vietnam.
