The value story

The value story

74 discounts in the 8 years on record, a median of 83 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 5 days ago.

It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. Scorn ($39.99, scores 28) outscores it, and so does Outlast 2 ($19.99, scores 64). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

More about Agony

Steam's global achievement data puts about 10 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 7.6-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 705 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 15 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,368 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 374 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 32 percent of the 918 reviews written there were positive, against 47 percent overall, and those are 40 percent of everything written about it.

7.6 hours to finish it, 16 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.0 times the campaign.

I sort of don't recommend it, but it's also sort of okay if you can get past the rough edges. Buy it super discounted. It's super clunky and janky. The movement is not fluid at all. Low FPS for no reason in random places. Yes it's annoying valve took everyone's unrated version away, but madmind did good by us and said FU to valve and made it a free unrated DLC for the regular version. We lost all our achievements...

I loved the idea of a hell based video game, love the idea of the gore and adult themes. Ideologically, it would have been a fantastic game. However, the delivery was terrible. Choppy graphics, clunky gameplay, poorly designed characters. The hype drew me in, the game itself, lost me quickly.
