The value story
November 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $5.24. It has been discounted 57 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. It becomes a BANGER at $12.48, a level the record has reached 57 times.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Yooka-Laylee ($19.99, scores 40) and Pumpkin Jack ($29.99, scores 53).
None of the 331 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 91 percent of the 278 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.
At 9 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
Remaster looks great and runs well, was a lot of fun coming back to this classic after never finishing it as a kid since my dumbass couldn't figure out how to beat the shark boss. It's on the shorter side (100% will take you around 15-20 hours) but it's worth the price if you're into 3D platformers. I feel so much more knowledgeable about Australia after playing this game.
Ty the Tasmanian Tiger was one of the first games I ever played, so I have a bit of a soft spot for it. Playing it start to finish for the first time since my childhood, I've felt something of a friction with it, between the snarky critic I am, and the pure-intentioned kid I was. Ty is good for what it is; it has rough edges of course, and is less perfect now than I remembered it, but it's certainly still a smooth...
Fantastic port, runs at 144 frames per second, looks great. If you're reading this, you'll love it!
