The value story

September 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $7.99. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 69 in the 9 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. No sale on record has reached $5.84, the price it would take to be a BANGER.

On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Blade and Sorcery ($29.99, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats Pavlov ($24.99, scores 47).

85 from critics against 94 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

Of the 546 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 18 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 777 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 1,706 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.
