The value story

Steam's global achievement data puts about 12 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 2.8-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 16 of the 769 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 431 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 79 percent of the 1,698 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 45 percent of everything written about it.
