The value story

34 discounts in the 10 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 14 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 69 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 97 percent. The Solus Project ($19.99, scores 49) outscores it, and so does Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 ($24.99, scores 96). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

I've been obsessed with the idea of Everest. The movies, YouTube Docs and all. I even want to tale a trek to basecamp. I got this game thinking I will be able to do a virtual walk throughout the whole moutian. Avalanches and all. You can't fall or feel any danger. This the shortest game on vr to date. You can't move but 2 steps in every direction. It looks great. Just no substance
