The value story
The lowest price on record is $7.49, set in October 2024. It has been discounted 44 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 13 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 90 percent. Subnautica: Below Zero ($29.99, scores 71) outscores it, and so does Subnautica ($7.49, scores 97). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
Of the 345 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to July 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 31 percent of the 188 reviews written there were positive, against 59 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
As much as I dislike Arkane Studios, this game helped me appreciate Prey. Not a lot, but a noticeable amount at least.
This game was, until it was labeled "complete," something special. It is very much a textbook example of the negative sides of Early Access.
This game scratches an itch for me like no other. It is set in a beautiful futuristic setting where a zombie apocalypse took place and really grasps the idea of being in a place that used to be the pinnacle of a utopia but slowly devolved once the infection took place. The storytelling is rich, the atmosphere is amazing, the gameplay is simple and addicting (kinda reminds me of 7 Days to Die), and the combat is not...
