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

Holding it back
Value$6.25/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reviews71% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Refunds18 of 593 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock

The value story

The lowest price on record is $7.99, set in June 2025. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 21 in the 3 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 8 days ago.

It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 74 percent. On the same math Goat Simulator 3 ($11.99, scores 84) and LEGO® Harry Potter™ Collection ($5.99, scores 65) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Critics scored it 79, but players land 8 points lower at 71 percent. The reviews were kinder than the room.

This site sampled 593 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 18 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written February 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,656 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 61 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 3 of the 18 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 37 percent of the 177 reviews written there were positive, against 71 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 3.2 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

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

5/10 Pros: +Pleasant visuals +Good sound +Fairy-tale-like story +Interesting and engaging single-player experience Cons: +Awful coop experience +Unpolished interaction +Glitches On one hand, it features a short but engaging adventure experience. You don't understand anything the characters are saying, as they are using a made-up language, but the story is designed so that you don't have to, but still sometimes it...

As someone that has played the original game, the remake was an amazing experience. As you progress in the game, you start to get used to controlling both brothers. Then the ending rips your heart out of your chest but with better graphics. :') 10/10 I live-streamed this on twitch and cried with my chat. I personally recommend this game! It's one of my favorites!

The original game was perfect. This remake has a crazy light flare bug so annoying that I could not even finish the game.
