The value story
November 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $14.99. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 18 in the 2 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago. $9.18 is what it would take to make this a BANGER, and nothing in its history goes that low.
On value it sits in the top 8 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Pentiment ($9.99, scores 92) beats it on value, while it beats Broken Sword 5 - the Serpent's Curse ($24.99, scores 60).
The press gave it 84; the people who bought it give it 94 percent. A 10-point gap in the buyer's favour.
