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. The score is docked for the missing length.
Holding it back
Reviews78% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Refunds22 of 560 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is
For context

How many own it, by SteamSpy's estimate (an old snapshot). Context here: this game's score does not use it

No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way

From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $19.99. That was February 2024. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 23 in the 3 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.

Value puts it in the top 44 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 70 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Big Farm Story ($19.99, scores 51) beats it on value, while it beats Hokko Life ($19.99, scores 16).

This site sampled 560 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 22 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2023 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,162 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 285 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 3 of the 22 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 38 percent of the 206 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.

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
