The value story

Across all 96 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is less well reviewed than 97 percent of its genre. Through Abandoned: The Underground City ($0.71, scores 49) outscores it, and so does Myst ($20.99, scores 51). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
