The value story

Across all 111 discounts in the 11 years tracked, the median cut is 90 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 79 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 83 percent. On the same math Trepang2 ($7.49, scores 80) and Still Wakes the Deep ($34.99, scores 44) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
