The value story

The value story

Across all 36 discounts in the 6 years tracked, the median cut is 20 percent, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 5 days ago.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 1 percent. It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. The nearest things to it, The Headliners ($7.99, scores 63) and FOREWARNED ($12.99, scores 82), are both worse buys on this math.

More about DEVOUR

Steam's global achievement data puts about 12 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 3.6-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Players rate it 90 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 82 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 31 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2025 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 691 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 48 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 75 percent of the 9,840 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 3.6 hours. Doing everything runs 136, 38 times as long.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 3.6 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.
