The value story
The value story
Across all 10 discounts in the 2 years tracked, the median cut is 20 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 64 percent. Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator 2 ($19.99, scores 41) outscores it, and so does Between the Stars ($29.99, scores 35). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
