Reviews96% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $9.87. That was June 2026. It has been discounted 7 times in the 14 months tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 75 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. It scores the same as Factorio, which costs $35.00. This one is $12.99.

$26.05 is where it would stop being a BANGER. It is priced at $12.99.

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 29 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2025 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 73 percent of the 539 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.

The drop-off

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
