The value story

June 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $7.49. 26 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 34 percent off, roughly 12 weeks apart. The math puts its BANGER price at $11.12. The record reaches that level 16 times.

Value puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 75 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Hylics ($2.99, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats Out Of Hands ($17.99, scores 61).

This site sampled 394 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 86 percent of the 228 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

The best game with a current fluid of mixed media, smooth animations, good progression and lore, one of the best sequels that I have ever played. Fell in love with it, would brainwash myself to play this for the first time again. 10/10 !never give up Mason and Chuck!
