The value story

It has never been cheaper than $4.89. That was October 2026. It has been discounted 9 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 15 weeks between sales. Today's $4.89 at 30 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 73 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Peaks of Yore ($6.64, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats Climber Animals: Together ($2.59, scores 31).

$16.26 is where it would stop being a BANGER. It is priced at $4.89.

4 of the 368 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 89 percent of the 250 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 20 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 17.8 hours. Doing everything runs 48, 2.7 times as long.

What players say

All my homies love brutalist architecture. 10/10 would fall to the bottom again.

BETON BRUTAL is a unforgiving platformer built of off Minecraft's parkour mechanics. It took me about 6 months to beat, and most of it wasn't fun, but the rush I got after passing each milestone was something only truly challenging games provide. The game also runs perfectly, has a ton of customization options, and weights less than a gig.

I'm ambivalent towards this one. The atmosphere and aesthetics are just my cup of tea, the controls are responsive and well implemented and the level design is great it's just that it has been such a frustrating experience having to fall over and over and wasting a lot of time trying to get back to give it another try if I didn't want to go into practice mode and restart all my progress. Granted I've never played...
