The value story

Across all 72 discounts in the 7 years tracked, the median cut is 70 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $4.49 at 70 percent off still sits 20 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

Value puts it in the top 25 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Gato Roboto ($1.19, scores 93) and Iconoclasts ($19.99, scores 59) both outscore it.

This game emphasizes exploration. It doesn't...
