The value story
The lowest price on record is $11.99, set in November 2023. 40 discounts in the 10 years on record. They run about 25 percent off, roughly 12 weeks apart.
Value puts it in the top 7 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Vacation Simulator ($19.99, scores 59) beats it on value, while it beats Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality ($29.99, scores 24).
29 of the 528 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 318 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 5 of the 29 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 73 percent of the 737 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Bought this game on 3 platforms, had over 100 hours in PSVR and 25 in standalone Quest, 100% recommend as even when the main game is over infinite overtime gives you infinite goals to work towards. I also highly recommend using playspace mover as it makes the game a bit more fun and gives you infinite freedom to do things you normally couldn't (though not required).
Good game for some quick things to do, but it is annoying that there isn't a way to turn via the controller (that I know of)
Great fun when I first had my vive... cant wait to play it again on Frame all these years later
