The value story

Across all 41 discounts in the 10 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 9 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 41 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 86 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. HUNTDOWN ($19.99, scores 78) and 30XX ($19.99, scores 72) both outscore it.

The drop-off

57% start to 1% rarest
050100rarestfirst achievement

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements
