The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.99. That was March 2022. 62 discounts in the 10 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Automation - The Car Company Tycoon Game ($29.99, scores 77) and F1® Manager 2024 ($10.49, scores 64).

81 from critics against 92 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

Steam's global achievement data puts under 1 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 30.6-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 799 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 10 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2020 to September 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,172 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 462 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 30.6 hours. Doing everything runs 317, 10 times as long.

The drop-off

What players say

I feel like i have played for 26hrs in a row honestly lol. I will agree with everyone that is having a problem with the game crashing on start up cause it confused me as well when it happened to me after i bought this game. However i did find a really good tip on redit that solved that problem entirely and all you have to do is type a command in on the start up for the game i believe, something like that lol.

Unmatched in every category. Getting Predator Racing from the worse to the best team and winning is a massive massive achievement that took me 100s of hours, but the game made it worth it all the way. The other challenges are cool as well, but that one is the worse to first. MM2 is coming out soon by the same devs. Expect another masterpiece.

Currently unplayable, but was once a great game. I have over 300 hours in it, but something happened to the game a few months ago and now it just crashes before getting to a launch screen. Buyer beware, read the other reviews that say the same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times, tried compatibility mode, tried emailing the devs...nothing. Excited for the sequel, but wary over the maintenance of...
