The value story

It has never been cheaper than $20.99. That was October 2023. It has been discounted 36 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 4 weeks between sales.

It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Hellsplit: Arena ($24.99, scores 40) beats it on value, while it beats The Walking Dead Onslaught ($29.99, scores 0).

9 of the 286 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2023 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 651 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 74 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 9 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 58 percent of the 120 reviews written there were positive, against 73 percent overall, and those are 42 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

7 chapters of decently fun low budget jank. Then the three heads of bad game: a chapter of filler, a chapter of backtracking topped of by a chapter of massive difficulty spike. Index users: you got to both click and hold your sticks to crouch or run and this cannot be remapped. Actually, you can't even set these to toggle so it's bad for all VR controllers.

Meathead cut-em-up with the most unpleasantly unnecessary story mode I've seen in a long time. it's like it's performing clinical reconstructions of jokes, completely faithful to genre tropes and "what you'd expect" but not actually understanding what makes something funny. Your character just screams about brothels for most of the first act and then becomes completely devoid of personality for the rest of the game...
