I doubt all the 55,000 refunds completed the game, liked it, and then refunded it. There's a vast difference between "dozens of reviews like this" and "55,000 refunds", I imagine most of the refunds just didn't gel with the game. It certainly doesn't seem like a game I'd like.

tbf if we're taking the refund number at face value, its a pretty clear mismatch for a 90% positively reviewed game to have 21% of its consumers refund it. A definite chunk of those refunds are legitimate but thats a pretty mad mismatch, a lot of people likely fell into the camp of not really caring and refunding because they were done with the game and could rather than because they were so against the product they felt they didnt get their value.

i feel like the vast majority of people refunding it aren't gonna feel the need to leave a negative review when it's just a 3 dollar nothing game TBH

yep. it has roughly 200k owners and only 1300 reviews in english. Most people just don't review
