Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 3.14/day in the week to Aug 31 → 6.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Good
Increible juego la verdad, entretenido y muy divertido
One of the best metroidvanias out there. No artificial difficulty through RNG, no stupid amounts of backtracking, lovely 8/16-bit pixel art and banger music. The story is light with quite a lot of comedy and meta references, breaking the 4th wall quite often, but it's good! At many points throughout the game, it references and takes elements from so many old classics, it almost feels like a tribute. Do not hesitate to buy this game and the DLC, it's totally worth it even at full price.

peak game. perfect for people who like metroidvanias and retro games
jogo incrível!!!
An instant classic. A masterful platform/metroidvania game with a great sense of humour and a nice story. The difficulty is also right on the spot with challenging but fair section and frequent checkpoints. 100% recommended.
Adorei The Messenger. Foi um daqueles jogos que realmente me prenderam ao videogame e me fizeram querer continuar jogando até o fim. A jogabilidade é extremamente divertida e precisa, os gráficos em estilo retrô são belíssimos e as inúmeras homenagens aos clássicos dos anos 8 e 16 bits tornam a experiência ainda mais especial. Um dos aspectos que mais gostei foi o recurso de viagem no tempo, que transforma completamente a forma como exploramos o mundo e adiciona uma camada extra de criatividade ao jogo. Esse elemento faz com que a aventura se destaque e surpreenda constantemente o jogador. O único ponto que considero digno de observação é o tom da narrativa. A história opta por um caminho bastante descontraído e bem-humorado, com diálogos cheios de ironia e quebras da quarta parede. Não se trata de um defeito — pelo contrário, gostei muito dessa abordagem e ela combina com a proposta do jogo. Ainda assim, fiquei com grande expectativa de ver essa mesma equipe desenvolvendo um título com um enredo mais sério e dramático, pois o talento do estúdio é evidente.
Including the DLC, this game squeezed ten hours and nearly 200 deaths out of me. I'm impressed with how much depth they got out of the "cloud step" mechanic, which is when you refresh your one jump after attacking nearly any object, enemy, or projectile. As a result the entire game just flows extremely well and there's multiple ways to go about rooms, which includes options for people who want to try a speedrun. When you later revisit places you've been, the game freshens things up with portals that allow you to jump between the same level but with different layouts, different enough to logically ramp up the challenge and re-introduce concepts from those areas. The only drawback is that the travel options don't include every area you can go to.
