Of the 404 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 24 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2026 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 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 68 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 91 percent of the 1,118 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 97 percent of everything written about it.
