The value story

Across all 3 discounts in the 12 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 41 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 537 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 17 percent on value. It is cheaper than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 65 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Mirror Lied (free, scores 67) beats it on value, while it beats Tacoma ($19.99, scores 49).

No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
