The value story

The value story

Across all 49 discounts in the 10 years tracked, the median cut is 33 percent, about 9 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

Its score puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Primordia ($2.99, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats Technobabylon ($14.99, scores 75).

$18.31 is where it would stop being a BANGER.
