The value story

The value story

Across all 23 discounts in the 3 years tracked, the median cut is 15 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

It is cheaper than 78 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 98 percent. I Am Fish ($3.99, scores 37) outscores it, and so does Get To Work ($12.99, scores 67). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

More about Only Climb: Better Together

29 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2024 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,176 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 24 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 29 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 32 percent of the 863 reviews written there were positive, against 53 percent overall, and those are 29 percent of everything written about it.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones. Scored as 54% after the small-sample adjustment
Reach150K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
Refunds29 of 800 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
For context
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

Worst game ever, lots of bugs, at some point it made me feel uncomfortable rather than being challenged.
