$24.99 for a very short game is overpriced.
I prefer to wait a year for a sale
disappointed :steamthumbsdown:

Isn't the average price to see a movie in an IMAX theater like $22 or more for a movie that's just like 1.5-2 hours long? Seems like this game is a better bang for your buck at around 3-4 hours than that.

No thx, I'm paying $10 to watch full series of movies with unlimited episodes, full upgrade to 4k and i can watch it everywhere i go. I will leave the theaters for you.
**Adding jester or making fun of anyone who disagree with the game will not change the reality of the high price of the game.

Then by all means go get gamepass, ubisoft+, EA play, or what ever subscription service you want and stop buying games altogether.

There's no way you genuinely think this game has a production budget comparable to that of a movie

There's supposed to be a 10% off sale of the game, but on their Steam page the sale doesn't exist.
What happened to the sale...?

It's quite pricy - but I wholeheartedly support it for the unique puzzle-concept and art.
Ofcourse it's understandable that not everyone feels like that.

Worth every penny. It's absurd to complain about $25 for a product with this much creativity, new and unique ideas, and tremendous artistry. I finished in about 5 hours. That's longer than Portal 1, and I would have paid $25 for Portal 1, too.

I don't mind dropping 25$ for a game if the experience is well done, creative, and engaging.

Granted I would like to see potential workshop content being added but complaining about the price for a quality game will only make you look like a clown

I'm hoping for more levels eventually. Game was very short and 75% of the early puzzles felt like complete tutorials. I think it could learn a lesson from Portal where the "test chambers" vs "the escape" were more ballanced. Here we only have this last timed puzzle but it's to short.

Price is totally fine. It's a great game with a lot of cool new ideas. A little short, yes, but it's worth it.
All in all, if you want to try a short but great gaming experience and are willing to pay for its art and game concept, then $25 is definitely worth it.

But if you happen to be like me, who want to experience a unique, in-depth puzzle game,then you are likely to be a little disappointed.:sadfriend:

That said, the Workshop is very important. Otherwise, if there is another game that is similar but has more puzzle elements, then I would prefer to buy that one.

Where time spent is inconsistent, subjective, it is idiotic to judge worth based on amount of time spent looking. A game like a painting, is spent a tremendous time being worked on, but much shorter time on being viewed, and that is entirely on an individual level. Is the worth of a painting or drawing, based on how long it takes you to look at it? The play time of a game, is constant variation, it is never consistent. A movie or series, no matter how much time being spent worked on, have consistent play times, independent of the viewer or viewers, and lasts the same no matter who watches. To compare games with movies, is idiotic, and judging worth based on time spent rushing through ignoring and never appreciating hard work, is incredibly shallow.

There is no need to rush, no need to be impatient. Many could do with spending less time on expecting instant gratification, instant rewards. Patience is a virtue, they say, a statement the impatient proves true. Working on something, thinking, solving, is rewarding in itself.

It's pretty disingenuous to not call this game unique, but it's very much a 5 hour tour of the game world (are people really doing all worlds including optional challenges in <2 hours?!) and it's a real pearl of an experience.

It's a problem as you KNOW it's going to be on steam sale at some point and buying full price is never a good idea from that angle, but that mentality is also a rush to devalue creator's art. I would think £15 would be the sweet spot for it, but it's a lovely game. Crippling motion sickness aside..

And you get the entire IMAX screen. A movie for a VOD platform is like 2 bucks
