Getting a refund on Steam is pretty straightforward! Just make sure you're within the return window - that's 14 days from purchase and under 2 hours of playtime. Go to 'Help' > 'Steam Support' in the Steam client, find the game you want to refund, and follow the instructions for requesting a refund. Steam usually gets back to you within a few days to let you know if your refund request has been approved.

Pro tip: Steam's pretty chill with their refund policy as long as you're not abusing it. Just be honest in your refund request if you really didn't enjoy the game or if it didn't run well on your system. Keep it under 2 hours of playtime and within those 14 days, and you're golden.

Actually, I've returned a game after slightly going over the 2-hour limit. Explained my situation honestly, and they still approved my refund. Steam support can be surprisingly understanding if you reach out kindly.
