The value story

20 discounts in the 4 years on record, a median of 30 percent off across all of them, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 10 days ago.

On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. The nearest things to it, Evoland Legendary Edition ($19.99, scores 56) and Seablip ($14.99, scores 40), are both worse buys on this math.
