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

What we assumed

No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is

The value story

September 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $14.99. Its cuts run 35 percent off as a rule. There have been 32 in the 3 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 70 percent. On the same math Satisfactory ($27.99, scores 98) and Eco ($29.99, scores 56) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Steam's global achievement data puts under 1 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 16 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2023 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 643 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 26 percent of the 372 reviews written there were positive, against 70 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.
