The value story

July 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $3.39. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 41 in the 5 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 9 percent on value. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Satellite Odyssey: Prologue ($1.99, scores 83) beats it on value, while it beats Reentry - A Space Flight Simulator ($34.99, scores 57).

11 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 1,302 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 26 percent of everything written about it.

At 2.3 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

I bought Exo Rally Championship, and after reading it's description I've seen it mentioning this game, and I thought: "hm, so this is like one of those vibe games where you just go sightseeing. Might as well try it out before playing ERC". I wasn't entirely wrong, but I totally didn't expect it to be so nice to control and for it to have a...

I had an overwhelmingly fantastic time with this game. I am heart broken there is not more, but it is the perfect length. It says everything it wants to in the most beautiful way. 1 million out of 10

Liked: - Fun premise - Beautiful environments - Satisfying movement - Collectibles are fun but not distracting Disliked: - Losing momentum can be frustrating - Story was a bit barebones
