The value story

It has never been cheaper than $14.99. That was August 2025. It has been discounted 18 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales. The math puts its BANGER price at $7.67. No recorded sale has reached it yet.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 28 percent on value. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 94 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard ($19.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats Amnesia: The Bunker ($24.99, scores 58).

The press gave it 82; the people who bought it give it 95 percent. A 13-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Steam's global achievement data puts 40 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. 6 of the 395 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 77 percent of the 164 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

4.8 hours to finish it, 14 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.8 times the campaign.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 4.8 hours it is short enough to finish on one.
