The value story

The lowest price on record is $20.24, set in May 2023. 13 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 11 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 64 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 7 percent on value. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 81 percent. Among the games closest to it, Cricket 24 ($44.99, scores 57) and WWE 2K25 ($59.99, scores 24) both come in lower.

Steam's global achievement data puts 32 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. 7 of the 612 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 62 percent of the 100 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 28.4 hours. Doing everything runs 328, 12 times as long.

What players say
