More about Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul
Steam's global achievement data puts about 13 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 2.2-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 276 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 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 2,866 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 232 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 7 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 53 percent of the 337 reviews written there were positive, against 70 percent overall, and those are 46 percent of everything written about it.
