The value story

The lowest price on record is $4.99, set in July 2025. It has been discounted 40 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 25 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

It is pricier than 82 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 93 percent. On the same math Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora™ ($16.49, scores 48) and Atomic Heart ($59.99, scores 40) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

This site sampled 781 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 18 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2021 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 135 have a larger share. In its first 30 days on sale, 5 of 104 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 49 percent of the 239 reviews written there were positive, against 53 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.

Great atmosphere not climate this doens't compare to each other. Great visuals and character models as any model of environmental. Weapons are just basics there's no stats on any of those. You just feel that the weapon is much better after upgrade. My sword was swinging badly as some sort of hammer, before it was just a poor low quality one. Enemies are just boring and fighitng with them is like hitting some sort of...
Evisceration PlagueNot recommendedafter 4.8hSep 2026Read on Steam
Graven is a first-person game made by Slipgate Ironworks with a strong Metroid-like pacing. As a pious redeemer, you go into a place of gloom and misery, prone to helping the people, completing quests, and freeing cities from doom throughout three chapters. The graphics are a great version of pixel art style, with fluid animations and nice effects. The town is your hub; from there, you go around paths in one huge...
