Although Critter Gang was developed in just 3 short days, we feel like we have some awesome content for everyone to enjoy!

I just wanna say absolutely amazing work to the Dev Team who worked their glutes off to make this game a reality. To be honest with you, I'm the worst at 2D platformers and it isn't in my top 5 of favorite genres. This however gave me a different perspective that there are games of this type that even if I can't finish, there's still so much to love about them. Everything down to the mechanics of the bosses, art, and sound design made this game a blast. Its great to see Dev Teams presenting their passion for gaming and production as this game is above the standard.. [also Stout Mob Boss had me screaming]

Really easy, but cool little cuphead-esque bossfights.

Final Fantasy XI price: what you pay, then keep paying

The Final Fantasy XI price is two numbers, and the subscription is the one that matters. Our tracked low, what the Ultimate Collection includes, and when buying at list is correct.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Hogwarts Legacy price history: where the floor really is

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Enshrouded price after 1.0: what it costs now

Enshrouded hit 1.0 today, but the Enshrouded price rose on 8 September and the key resellers have not followed. What our nine tracked sellers show, and whether to buy now.

Starfield price history: the sub-$20 window, and who set it

Our Starfield price history shows one reseller set the all-time low over five weeks in late summer 2026. What a good price looks like now, and why Game Pass comes first.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
