The value story

The value story

Across all 20 discounts in the 2 years tracked, the median cut is 70 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $2.49 at 90 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 94 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Diablo® IV ($49.99, scores 15) beats it on value, while it beats Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem ($19.99, scores 2).

More about Wayfinder

27 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2025 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,872 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 224 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 3 of the 27 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 35 percent of the 5,298 reviews written there were positive, against 60 percent overall, and those are 21 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.

24.7 hours to finish it, 59 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.4 times the campaign.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

What players say

Wayfinder is a real gem, and it's honestly crazy that this game didn't get more attention. Maybe its development cycle was a bit unusual, but what we have today is a genuinely great hack-and-slash game with cool dungeons, a beautiful world to explore, and an absolutely amazing art style. It's one of those games that just sucks you in for a quick session that turns into a couple of hours. You discover a new...

I would like to say... I know there has been some shenanigans with the publisher and it being a single player game and all. I'm not one of those people who bought multiple packs or whatever they were. But when you just buy this game for 25 bucks, it is a GEM! I bought the founder pack back in pre-release stages played it a couple hours... I recently came back to it and I have to say I LOVE IT!!! It's a mixture of...

Game was good, but has become abandonware. Might be worth $5, but don't expect any updates.
