Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones Scored as 77% after the small-sample adjustment
Reach35K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
Refunds28 of 572 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock

The value story

September 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $12.99. 14 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 25 percent off, roughly 12 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 60 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Blade and Sorcery ($29.99, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats Hellsplit: Arena ($24.99, scores 40).

Of the 572 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 28 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2023 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 698 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 5 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 4 of the 28 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 53 percent of the 345 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 29 percent of everything written about it.
