Minimum on the Steam store: 2 GB of memory, nVidia GeForce 7025, ATI Radeon HD 3400, 8.3 GB of storage. Runs on Windows, macOS.

A kleptomaniac, a sociopath and a horrible friend. Randal is potentially one of the most scurrile protagonists since the invention of the hoverboard. Randal's Monday is a crazy space-time odyssey in classic adventure design, spiced up with countless geek culture references of the last 30 years.

What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.

MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
Holding it back
Reviews78% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is

The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.99, set in February 2019. It has been discounted 115 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 90 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 47 percent on value. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 63 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Deponia Doomsday ($19.99, scores 59) beats it on value, while it beats Cyanide & Happiness - Freakpocalypse (Episode 1) ($19.99, scores 0).

The press gave it 57; the people who bought it give it 78 percent. A 21-point gap in the buyer's favour.

This site sampled 399 of its Steam-purchase reviews; none were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 49 percent of the 135 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.
