The value story

It has been discounted 21 times in the 11 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 50 percent, about 15 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 101 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is cheaper than 67 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Tails Noir: Prologue (free, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats Back to the Dawn ($23.99, scores 77).

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $6.20.
