The value story

It has been discounted 34 times in the 4 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 30 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 10 days ago.

It is pricier than 68 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 96 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Pacific Drive ($29.99, scores 58) and Green Hell ($24.99, scores 60) both outscore it.

That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,362 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 203 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it.

The main story runs 0.8 hours. Doing everything runs 4, 4.7 times as long.
