What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.

Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones

The value story

The lowest price on record is $3.74, set in December 2025. It has been discounted 37 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.

It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre. On the same math City of Gangsters ($29.99, scores 38) and Megaquarium ($24.99, scores 85) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

26 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2023 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 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 447 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 41 percent of the 269 reviews written there were positive, against 73 percent overall, and those are 13 percent of everything written about it.
