The value story
68 discounts in the 10 years on record, a median of 69 percent off across all of them, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today's $1.49 at 75 percent off still sits 57 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 95 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, The Supper (free, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension ($12.99, scores 77).
$4.23 is where it would stop being a BANGER.
