The value story

The lowest price on record is $11.99, set in November 2025. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 32 in the 4 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $11.99 at 80 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

This sale is doing real work. 13 at list, 17 today.

It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 85 percent. On the same math FINAL FANTASY® XIII ($6.39, scores 47) and Ruined King: A League of Legends Story™ ($29.99, scores 73) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 8 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written September 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 180 reviews written there were positive, against 66 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

30.6 hours to finish it, 66 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.1 times the campaign.

The worldbuilding is more mature, the team is well thought out, the story is robust, and the demons impeccable. I bought the DLC and it's worth it for Ai-Ho alone. The weakest part is the dungeon design - hallways in uninspired...

Good game, dungeons sucks though. Ringo is amazing, she's one of the reasons why this game isn't totally bad. play it with JP Voices, English voices acting is very mid sometimes. had a good time with it, Not worth sixty bucks. buy it on sale.

C+ - Ringo deserved a less repetitive game around her Stopped around Ozaki Hope Towers, then read the remaining story. Ringo was the main reason I wanted Soul Hackers 2 to work. Her personality and performance gave me someone to enjoy spending time with, and the cyberpunk setting had an appeal of its own. The premise had enough potential to keep me interested early on. Unfortunately, the dungeon routine gradually...
