The value story
It has never been cheaper than $14.99. That was April 2026. 36 discounts in the 7 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today's $14.99 at 70 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
At full price it scores 64. The current cut is what makes it a 83.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, FINAL FANTASY VI ($10.79, scores 87) beats it on value, while it beats FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE ($9.99, scores 58).
Of the 721 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 6 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,383 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,622 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 241 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.
