The value story

It has never been cheaper than $29.99. That was November 2024. It has been discounted 19 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today's $29.99 at 50 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Take the discount away and it is a 54. With it, 64.

Value puts it in the top 22 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 72 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Overlord™: Raising Hell ($9.99, scores 66) beats it on value, while it beats Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas ($14.99, scores 49).

Critics scored it 75. Players sit 13 points higher at 88 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

Of the 433 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 4 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 101 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

20.5 hours to finish it, 58 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.8 times the campaign.

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

What players say

This game did Tori justice. Every idea he had was integrated into the game perfectly. This game has so much content, it's unreal.
Big DylanRecommendedafter 27hAug 2026Read on Steam
Game is pretty alright but the 100% achievement is gruelling, the lost property achievement would be insane without a map and the arena was a bit too long and tedious. Overall though pretty good.
DoggoRecommendedafter 70hAug 2026Read on Steam
Sand Land has been such a fun adventure. As an action game this is already very fun, but add in tank, car, and even mech customization and this has created something special in my opinion. The world while being set in a desert feels far from empty, the map is littered with things to find, ruins to delve, and even race tracks. Sand Land has actually made me feel like i was exploring a videogame world again. they...
