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

Raising the score
Value$0.51/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reviews91% 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

The lowest price on record is $9.23, set in April 2025. 8 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 20 percent off, roughly 25 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 72 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. The nearest things to it, Thimbleweed Park™ ($19.99, scores 71) and The Blackwell Legacy ($4.99, scores 74), are both worse buys on this math.

Of the 587 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 66 percent of the 155 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 23.4 hours; clearing it takes 62, which is 2.6 times the campaign.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

On top of...
DixiERecommendedafter 65h1 found this helpfulRead on Steam
Void stranger is a phenomenal game that uses its existence as a puzzle game to its fullest in order to tell a powerful story about love, lesbians and demons. The puzzle design in this game is incredible for the amount of puzzles this game has to offer, with few rooms feeling tedious as most rooms have some clever solution to them that leave you feeling super satisfied after solving them. Void Stranger is however...
Purple_CosmicRecommendedafter 48hSep 2026Read on Steam
This is a very good game, with incredible "aha!" moments and incredible depth hidden just beneath the surface. So many secrets to uncover, so many mechanics to figure out and so many ways to outsmart the original level design. However, i have a hard time recommending it. Because it will not hold your hand, it will let you get lost and make terrible mistakes, and you will get frustrated trying to figure out how to...
