The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.99, set in March 2023. 72 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 90 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 30 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 71 percent. Among the games that feel like it, WRC 7 FIA World Rally Championship ($1.99, scores 54) beats it on value, while it beats DIRT 5 ($59.99, scores 0).

Critics scored it 62. Players sit 14 points higher at 76 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

This site sampled 496 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 339 reviews written there were positive, against 76 percent overall, and those are 30 percent of everything written about it.

The drop-off

No 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

Its a really simple racer but fun! I had a bug a few times when the race ended it said I got first place but when the results showed up it would change so I'd have to try the race all over for no reason...
