The value story

It has never been cheaper than $13.99. That was February 2024. It has been discounted 27 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 65 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 34 percent on value. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 72 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Like a Dragon: Ishin! ($39.99, scores 48) beats it on value, while it beats Three Heroes ($3.99, scores 23).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 3 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 12.1-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 467 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 3 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2022 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 73 percent of the 101 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.

12.1 hours to finish it, 30 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.4 times the campaign.

Some good music, cool character designs and a couple interesting looking cutscenes. That's all the positive things I have to say. The gameplay is simple. The jump button is useless. The dodge button is bad as it's always been. I wish I still had the punch and kick buttons. The story is pointless, meaningless. Travis is a severely schizophrenic man who is lost in his own dream world and the whole story is him living...

Pros: * Art (Outside of the 3D In-Game Art) is Incredible : It's abundantly clear that NMH3 was a very experimental, mixed media, ask as many cool artists as he could experiment for Suda. And truthfully? When it comes to the art that isn't the actual game itself, its fantastic. Lots of weird detailed things going on, from fully animated anime cutscenes to Akira Toriyama inspired talk pieces. Prominent artists such...
