The value story
It has never been cheaper than $11.99. That was December 2024. It has been discounted 31 times in the 8 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 13 weeks between sales. $7.00 is what it would take to make this a BANGER, and nothing in its history goes that low.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 4 percent on value. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. The nearest things to it, Anarchy Arcade (free, scores 21) and Streamer Life Simulator ($19.99, scores 37), are both worse buys on this math.
Of the 338 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 4 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2020 to July 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 360 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.
What players say
This game leaves an impression that games I've played for hundreds of hours haven't. An all-time favorite. Note that if you're using the Steam Frame, you will want to rebind the controls. The default controls make it really difficult to not accidentally activate jets and hooks at the same time on the left controller.
God, I love this game. I almost never write reviews, but I have to write one here even though it's been 5 years since I've played this. When I had a VR headset in 2021 on a HP Reverb G2, this is one of the few games I remember playing. It was by far the most fun, and I think about buying a gaming desktop and VR headset again just to experience it again. This is the type of game that feels like someone developed in...
