The value story

Against its own genre it lands in the top 17 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 96 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Driftwood ($19.99, scores 70) beats it on value, while it beats Skater XL - The Ultimate Skateboarding Game ($39.99, scores 45).

The press gave it 82; the people who bought it give it 92 percent. A 10-point gap in the buyer's favour.

8 of the 352 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2021 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 447 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 94 percent of the 901 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 81 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 0.4 hours. Doing everything runs 1, 2.5 times as long.

One of my favorite games oat... its so chill and minimalistic, i love unwinding with this game... and for 5 bucks its a steal. 10/10 underrated goat.
:DRecommendedafter 4.0hMay 2026Read on Steam
Let me tell ya, I was grinding this game for is very simple and easy achievements. Problem was, those very simple achievements made me want to stick my balls in a toaster. I got 10/12 and ended up shattering my 4k monitor with my $200 headphones that also got ruined. I hate this game, so glad I went back and finished it.
