What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical RPG game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

Reviews92% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases

The value story

March 2014 is where it bottomed out, at $1.49. It has been discounted 43 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales.

On value it sits in the top 6 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 61 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut ($1.49, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Fable Anniversary ($34.99, scores 55).

Critics scored it 83. Players sit 9 points higher at 92 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

7 of the 555 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 1,125 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.
