The lowest price on record is $13.99, set in August 2025. It has been discounted 39 times in the 9 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 10 weeks between sales.
On value it sits in the top 3 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD Remaster ($11.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats OCTOPATH TRAVELER™ ($17.99, scores 71).
Steam's global achievement data says about 6 percent of players ever finish it. On a 21.3-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
