The Forever Winter

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $14.99. That was December 2025. 20 discounts in the 2 years on record. They run about 35 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $19.49 at 35 percent off still sits 30 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 76 percent. DeadPoly ($9.99, scores 35) outscores it, and so does Incursion Red River ($21.99, scores 42). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

Players rate it 68 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 55 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 33 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2026 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 62 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 5 of the 33 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 41 percent of the 4,541 reviews written there were positive, against 68 percent overall, and those are 21 percent of everything written about it.
