The value story

July 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $29.99. It has gone on sale 2 times in the 63 days tracked here, most recently in September 2026.

On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Tropico 6 ($39.99, scores 71) beats it on value, while it beats Park Beyond ($29.99, scores 12).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 6 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 29-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 758 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 31 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2026 to October 2026. In its first 30 days on sale, 29 of 413 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 325 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 29 hours; clearing it takes 100, which is 3.4 times the campaign.
