The value story

March 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $4.49. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 31 in the 5 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Past sales have already crossed the $6.23 BANGER line 13 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 69 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Leap Year ($3.99, scores 93) beats it on value, while it beats One Gun Guy ($4.99, scores 16).

The press gave it 84; the people who bought it give it 96 percent. A 12-point gap in the buyer's favour.

2 of the 352 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2021 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 90 percent of the 176 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 2.1 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

You get a new superpower, and then there's a whole bunch of rooms making you use it and making sure you actually know it. Which brings me to my next point: there are no words in the game, but it communicates so well: how a mechanic should be used, what it should do. It's...
