The value story
The lowest price on record is $11.99, set in August 2026. It has been discounted 32 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
Value puts it in the top 19 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 75 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Green Hell ($24.99, scores 60) beats it on value, while it beats Voidtrain ($29.99, scores 32).
Players rate it 78 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 52 percent. Something recent has soured the room. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 14 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2025 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 794 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 49 percent of the 526 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

I tried to like this game, but something went wrong. 1. Graphics is dated even before the game actually released. To my surprise, DLSS did not helped much 2. Food management is truly strange to say the least and involves too much steps. To have a food you need to 1) catch plastic to make membrane (consumable) 2) make membrane 3) get dirty water with membrane 4) clean dirty water with purifier 5) catch ingredients...
Anyone who is looking for the calling of a story heavy, but completely free form exploration game. Something akin to RAFT but in the skies, and instead of fishing with a hook, you are lazer'n flying debris around your ever growing airship. This is the answer. Is it perfect? Show me a game that is. But don't let the negative reviews corner you into not buying it if you love those kind of games. Co-oP is fun. It has...
