How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $14.99. That was May 2025. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 14 in the 2 years tracked, about 8 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 50 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 79 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Satisfactory ($27.99, scores 98) beats it on value, while it beats Techtonica ($29.99, scores 15).

18 of the 596 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 681 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 44 percent of the 312 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.
