The value story

It has never been cheaper than $8.99. That was December 2025. Across all 20 discounts in the 2 years tracked, the median cut is 30 percent, about 6 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 8 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 82 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. On the same math ANIMAL WELL ($24.99, scores 66) and La-Mulana 2 ($24.99, scores 71) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Pinball Spire promises a pinball take on a metroidvania. With hope in my heart I dived right in but didn't quite find what I initially hoped for. What I did find was charm, atmosphere and a good amount of fun - a game that was worth it's price of entry (just over £6 for me thanks to the summer sale).
