The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.49, set in September 2025. It has been discounted 53 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 6 weeks ago.

On value it sits in the top 8 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Horizon Forbidden West™ Complete Edition ($59.99, scores 70) beats it on value, while it beats GreedFall ($34.99, scores 38).

Critics scored it 73. Players sit 15 points higher at 88 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

Steam's global achievement data says about 9 percent of players ever finish it. On a 10.7-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 27 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 60 percent of the 759 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 10.7 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say

It was a pretty short experience, and while I really liked the relationship between the main characters and loved wandering around to discover the mystery of the planet at first, the rest of the game didn't quite hit for me. The exploration eventually got repetitive over time since it boils down to just looting and wandering, and the ending felt like a huge letdown, it made everything I just read/watched feel like...

If you're allergic to writing aimed at "modern audience" stay clear from this title. It's not jarring or as horrendous as in some other titles, but it's there and will stop your from enjoying the game. If you're not allergic to it, you might enjoy it quite a bit.
