The value story

Across all 11 discounts in the 3 years tracked, the median cut is 20 percent, about 13 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 9 weeks ago.

On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Celeste ($4.99, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats SANABI ($14.99, scores 84).

$2.63 is where it would stop being a BANGER.
