The value story

Across all 90 discounts in the 10 years tracked, the median cut is 90 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Value puts it in the top 9 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 83 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, 12 Labours of Hercules ($2.99, scores 88) beats it on value, while it beats 无休仙途 ($5.99, scores 29).
