The value story

It has never been cheaper than $13.49. That was June 2025. It has been discounted 12 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 9 days ago.

On value it sits in the top 50 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Ultimate Chicken Horse ($14.99, scores 89) and Golf Gang ($9.99, scores 55) both outscore it.

Steam's global achievement data puts 29 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. 31 of the 652 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 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 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 279 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 3 of the 31 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 69 percent of the 435 reviews written there were positive, against 75 percent overall, and those are 31 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 2 hours. Doing everything runs 11, 5.7 times as long.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 2 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME AT FULL PRICE I bought this on sale with DLC for 17.99$ after being nagged by friends but even so I was disappointed to find that there are only 4 games, repeated in the same order if you're doing a full party round with friends. With that being said, is the game fun? Yes. It most definitely is. Even though the game is repetitive as there is NOT a lot to do online with friends, the mechanics are...
