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

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Action game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is

The value story

It has been discounted 109 times in the 10 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 50 percent, about 4 weeks apart. Today's $0.99 at 50 percent off still sits 25 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

Value puts it in the top 38 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 84 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Streamer Life Simulator ($1.99, scores 46) beats it on value, while it beats Ratty Catty ($4.49, scores 15).
