The value story

Across all 30 discounts in the 3 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 10 days ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 6 percent on value. It is pricier than 70 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Station to Station ($8.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats Terra Nil ($24.99, scores 53).

More about URBO

6 of the 344 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2023 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 693 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 111 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 150 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 28 percent of everything written about it.

1 hours to finish it, 8 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 8.3 times the campaign.

At 1 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

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

It was one of my preferable game until performance was totally broken in VR on truly Hi-End configuration.

I would have like a more obvious way to quickly see which building is which level

This game is awesome to unwind with. Visuals are gorgeous and the premise is simple enough to get the hang of, but pretty difficult to master. Highly reccommend this one.
