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

Raising the score
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
Holding it back
Reviews77% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach150K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
For context
Value$5.13/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
Length3.9 hours
Typical playtime on HowLongToBeat. Endless games score on players, so hours stay out of it
Refunds27 of 800 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

One of my first VR experiences. it was fun, and quite enjoyable... if it doesn't crash every now and then, i had a ton of issues in general with vr, and this one apparently is not very well optimiced and u will most likely have to lower configs, again, i would most absotively buy it again.
