The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.49. That was June 2026. Its cuts run 45 percent off as a rule. There have been 40 in the 5 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. The math puts its BANGER price at $4.32. The record reaches that level 12 times.

Value puts it in the top 5 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 64 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Carto ($19.99, scores 72) beats it on value, while it beats Mutazione ($19.99, scores 63).

Of the 328 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 95 percent of the 357 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 46 percent of everything written about it.
