The value story

It has never been cheaper than $27.99. That was August 2026. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 7 in the 16 months tracked, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 5 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 24 percent on value. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Sonic Frontiers ($39.99, scores 56) beats it on value, while it beats Sonic Origins ($29.99, scores 34).

The press gave it 84; the people who bought it give it 93 percent. A 9-point gap in the buyer's favour.

27 of the 699 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 81 percent of the 1,015 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

4.5 hours to finish it, 66 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 15 times the campaign.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 4.5 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.
