Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock

The value story

The lowest price on record is $6.24, set in June 2026. 17 discounts in the 2 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 8 days ago.

It is pricier than 81 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 85 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Selaco ($24.99, scores 66) beats it on value, while it beats GRAVEN ($24.99, scores 0).

Steam's global achievement data puts 25 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. 22 of the 598 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 65 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 3 of the 22 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 43 percent of the 178 reviews written there were positive, against 62 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 11.3 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say

Rating: ★★★ - Okay Time Played: 10 hours Difficulty: Hard Gameplay: - Sits in the space between SiN and Half-Life. Road trip structure, physics interaction, varied environments but doesn't fully commit to what made either of those work, leaving combat, puzzles and exploration feeling more functional than satisfying. - Mission areas are distinct enough to hold interest (factory, highway, facility) though pacing can...

Gameplay and environment is very enjoyable. It is pleasantly difficult but not impossible. Sound effects are good and thumpy.
The Jesterly ScoundrelRecommendedafter 5.4hJul 2026Read on Steam
6 dollars doesn't excuse horrible checkpoints, lacking basic features, and zero variety brain dead enemies.
