The value story

The lowest price on record is $11.24, set in September 2024. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 21 in the 4 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. No sale on record has reached $5.49, the price it would take to be a BANGER.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 11 percent on value. It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Titan Chaser ($0.99, scores 62) beats it on value, while it beats Nephise Begins ($0.99, scores 11).

The press gave it 80; the people who bought it give it 93 percent. A 13-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 17 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 6-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 420 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 86 percent of the 270 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.

At 6 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

Breathtakingly beautiful, contemplative, and immersive experience, Season is a game that i never heard about until encountering it on my plastation plus subscription and consequently purchased it for STEAM (if i love a game that is already included in one of my subscriptions, i will furhter support it by purchasing it). The worldbuilding, characters, open-world exploration, and journaling mechanics make for an...

This game has a great style and story telling! The art design is amazing and the mechanics are really fun to use. The parallels and relationships between the characters are well-thought out and the voice acting is phenomenal!

This is my favorite video game I've ever played. If you're looking for something relaxing where you can become completely absorbed into the feeling of a world, this is the game for you. It's not a sandbox game so replayability is for naught but that is not the point of the experience.
