The value story

June 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $4.79. Its cuts run 55 percent off as a rule. There have been 63 in the 8 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent.

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $10.42. It costs $4.99.

Critics scored it 83. Players sit 14 points higher at 97 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

4 of the 450 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 335 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

5.9 hours to finish it, 16 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.7 times the campaign.
