What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back
Reviews83% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones Scored as 82% after the small-sample adjustment
Reach75K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
Refunds7 of 259 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
For context
Value$1.87/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
Length16 hours
Typical playtime on HowLongToBeat. Endless games score on players, so hours stay out of it
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $8.99. That was June 2019. 30 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 13 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 47 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, COMPOUND ($19.99, scores 86) beats it on value, while it beats EVERSPACE™ ($19.99, scores 51).

7 of the 259 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to July 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 698 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 11 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 272 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 29 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

What players say

This game was one of the greatest ive ever played. But the pc version is crap. One can not play, because it is simply not working when launched through steamvr. You can not teleport, the audio is broken, and the progress is not saved... Have this problem with the quest 2, and pimax dream air

A once great example of how to do archery in VR. The Quest version has continued to receive love but misses the mark with graphic fidelity. It's unfortunate that this hasn't received the updates it deserves.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, IT WILL NOT SAVE YOUR POGRESS SOMETIMES, IT'S DEVELOPMENT IS ABANDONDED. Most Christian VR game It an older VR title, but it holds up for the most part. It does not have campaign, but it has very satisfying and intuitive gameplay loop. I am not a big fan of bow gimmick in VR, but here it fits thematically and is very well implemented. The game does give you an option to unlock a crossbow for...
