The value story

It has never been cheaper than $4.49. That was January 2023. It has been discounted 20 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales.

On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Driftwood ($19.99, scores 70) beats it on value, while it beats Slapshot: Rebound (free, scores 59).

Critics scored it 80. Players sit 11 points higher at 91 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

2 of the 436 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 75 percent of the 114 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.
