The value story

The lowest price on record is $22.49, set in June 2026. 4 discounts in the 8 months on record. They run about 25 percent off, roughly 12 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 94 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Binding of Isaac ($2.24, scores 87) beats it on value, while it beats The Basement Collection ($3.99, scores 74).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 9 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 76.6-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 10 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2026 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 71 percent of the 3,119 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 76.6 hours. Doing everything runs 263, 3.4 times as long.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

The drop-off

Steam counts fewer than one in ten of its players at the ending achievement. On a 76.6-hour game, that's a lot you pay for and may never use. Steam global achievements
