The value story
December 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 33 in the 4 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. The math puts its BANGER price at $10.96. The record reaches that level 26 times.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 3 percent on value. It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion ($14.99, scores 67) and Moss VR ($19.99, scores 57).
10 of the 525 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2022 to September 2026. That is fewer 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, 2,378 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 452 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 7.9 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

Game ideas like this don't just spring up out of the ground ya know (like Bugsnax!). Look just the gameplay of figuring out how to catch ALL of the Bugsnax is super engaging and inventive. It really could've been like a...
10/10, still chasing the feeling of playing this game for the first time. I haven't found another like it
