The value story

The lowest price on record is $12.79, set in September 2025. It has been discounted 26 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.

On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 90 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Evoland 2 ($4.99, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats Evoland Legendary Edition ($4.99, scores 59).

The press gave it 80; the people who bought it give it 88 percent. An 8-point gap in the buyer's favour.

This site sampled 458 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 5 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 74 percent of the 190 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 38.2 hours. Doing everything runs 107, 2.8 times as long.

Deck Verified, so no launch options and no controller remapping before it runs.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements
