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

The value story

November 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $3.99. It has been discounted 47 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

It is pricier than 78 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II ($14.99, scores 23) beats it on value, while it beats Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem ($19.99, scores 2).

Of the 654 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 14 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2020 to June 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 698 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 32 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 48 percent of the 237 reviews written there were positive, against 63 percent overall, and those are 25 percent of everything written about it.

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