The value story

57 discounts in the 10 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Cooking Simulator VR ($4.99, scores 30) and Kayak VR: Mirage ($22.99, scores 38) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
