The value story
It has never been cheaper than $9.59. That was May 2026. It has been discounted 21 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 55 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.
It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Bus ($39.99, scores 19) beats it on value, while it beats Alaskan Road Truckers ($21.99, scores 6).
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 58 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2025 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 49 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 6 of the 58 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 31 percent of the 1,189 reviews written there were positive, against 62 percent overall, and those are 27 percent of everything written about it.
