The value story
The lowest price on record is $1.99, set in September 2026. 19 discounts in the 2 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $1.99 at 90 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
At full price it scores 45. The current cut is what makes it a 58.
Value puts it in the top 34 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 66 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart ($23.99, scores 66) beats it on value, while it beats STAR WARS™: Bounty Hunter™ ($19.99, scores 43).
Of the 431 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 8 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,079 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 244 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 117 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 16 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
This game has been a blast to play, and instead of comparing it to Sony's outer space TPS-I evaluated this game on its own merits. The graphics/particle effects are well done being one of few games to get depth-of-field, AND fire effects right... The reflections/lighting effects on this game, are chef's kiss also. Runs buttery smooth at 1080p high/mixed settings, on an MSI Claw 7Ai+ via Optiscaler. Gameplay/weapon...
I went in expecting decent things having played Far Far West a decent amount but even still this was better than I anticipated. A surprising variety of gameplay along with a blast of a story.
Genuinely never write reviews. But I literally can't see anything in this game. I feel like each level is foggier than the previous one and I got to a level where I have to look for wheels and it 's literally unplayable. I don't know if my game is corrupt or if it's just like this. I've tried changing every single setting and nothing has worked.
