The value story
Across all 75 discounts in the 9 years tracked, the median cut is 81 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 96 percent. Youtubers Life ($19.99, scores 44) outscores it, and so does Oxygen Not Included ($24.99, scores 97). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
The drop-off
83% start to 11% rarestNo achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements
What players say
has it's little bugs but overall a great game, worst part about it is how short it is (only about 4-5 hours)
1 more review, not recommended
I read the other reviews saying that this game was tedious, repetitive, the worst sort of micromanagement. I really like detailed management simulators, so I bought this game on sale. They were not kidding. The optimal gameplay loop becomes evident within about 10 minutes. You then spend the next hour or two repeating that same loop, same set of actions, with increasingly small margins for error. I beat this game...
