Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock

The value story

The lowest price on record is $4.99, set in October 2022. It has been discounted 51 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

On value it sits in the top 14 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 77 percent. Among the games that feel like it, ‎My Suika – Kyo’s Fruit Merge ($0.99, scores 72) beats it on value, while it beats Sixty Four ($2.99, scores 41).

Critics scored it 67. Players sit 13 points higher at 80 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

Of the 488 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 42 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 16 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 29 of the 42 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 45 percent of the 238 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 24.1 hours; clearing it takes 57, which is 2.4 times the campaign.

What players say

Weedcraft Inc is a game I really enjoy. What I like most is the ability to build and manage your own growing operation while learning the different systems behind it. The part that really interests me is the science of growing-experimenting with strains, improving plants, and managing the production side of things. I've always found the growing and cultivation aspect fascinating. I've never really been much into the...

Weedcraft Inc, developed by Vile Monarch and published by Devolver Digital, is a management simulation that uses its provocative premise as a gateway into a surprisingly nuanced and systems-driven business experience. While it initially draws attention through its focus on the cannabis industry, the game quickly reveals itself to be less about shock value and more about examining how economics, politics, ethics, and...
