The value story
It has never been cheaper than $14.99. That was August 2026. It has gone on sale 2 times in the 57 days tracked here, most recently in September 2026. Today's $14.99 at 25 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
Take the discount away and it is a 83. With it, 88.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre, and the best reviewed. Among the games that feel like it, Teardown ($14.99, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats Door Kickers 2: Task Force North ($24.99, scores 87).
$17.67 is where it would stop being a BANGER. It is priced at $14.99.

This site sampled 554 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 16 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written in August 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,355 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 96 percent of the 2,251 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 19 percent of everything written about it.
At 11.8 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.
