The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
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): 0/day in the week to Aug 21 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 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.

It was very boring, and I didn't enjoy how the 3D levels went for a Minecraft aesthetic/direction this time. The first two games were alright. Pixel Ripped 1995 was the best of the three so far. The only good thing about it is that I was able to launch it on an HP Reverb G2. I also found out that if I leaned around and reset the camera on the Breakout level I could put the camera behind my character and make her headless. Coupled with the lack of animations when you press buttons on the joystick, I think this game has less polish than 1995. I decided to refund it after a little over an hour of general boredom. Hopefully, Pixel Ripped 1999 will be a lot more fun. The Breakout boss and the 2D platforming sections were the most interesting for me, and the office dialogue was cute, but by the time I got to the Groovyland and saw it was about to repeat the snore that was Bently's Quest with more bad first person shooting and wandering in circles I knew I was too tired of the gameplay to keep playing.
挺好玩 继承了一代的优点 两个不同次元的场景寻找方法去通关 玩家视角还会有很多干扰 挺有代入感 dot视角比较枯燥 就是跑图找道具 武器也不能升级 近战虽然能弹反但也很鸡肋 最后的跑团游戏还以为有啥变化 结果还是跑图打怪 boss龙血太厚了 召怪 蓄力都要管 难度略高 那段ET的梗很搞笑 可惜结尾没什么彩蛋啥的 只是几段录音 再放个小游戏玩玩就更好了

Игра про игры, теперь консоль атари, олдскул однако) Геймплейно стала разнообразнее, но игра все еще сидячая, держа в руках виртуальный джойстик снова берешь под управления Дот, однако теперь можно загрузится и побегать внутри в 3D. В целом кому зашла одна из предыдущих это тоже понравится. Играл на Pico 4 через VD, проблем с совместимостью как 1995 тут нет.
I've now played all three of the Pixel Ripped games and loved them all. The first was awesome, the second was my favorite "time period" since I grew up in the 90s, but the third is the best overall "game" by far. A lot of new ideas went into this one to make it awesome. Definitely recommend picking it up
great game
VERY not fun for someone with ADHD who struggles to do three things at once. There are multiple sections where you have to both play a game on a screen, AND do things outside of the screen. As an early example, you have to reach out and grab a controller with your VR controllers, use one hand to control the joystick, and the other to control the jump button. You use this to play a game on an in-world screen. As you play this game, you have to let go of the controller with one of your hands, so you can reach out and smack the screen, knocking some of the on-screen enemies into the 3D game space. You then have to continue dodging the enemies on the screen, as you try to throw paper balls at the enemies that have been knocked into real space to kill them. If you fail to hit the enemies in time, they return to the screen. But while you're trying to hit them with paper balls, the game on the screen is still playing, and if you lose all three hearts in that game, you have to start over from the very beginning of the level, no matter how close you were to winning. If that's your kinda thing, great, you're going to LOVE this game. But if, like me, you struggle to manage all of those tasks at the same time, this game is going to make you cry.
第二关不是高手都过不去啊。好玩。但是前两作都玩不了(pico4),可惜
great retro game for vr
Played with Oculus Quest 2 + Virtual Desktop. Worked perfectly, no issues. This is the third game in the Pixel Ripped series. 1989 is first, 1995 is second, and 1978 is the third game. You don't necessarily need to play the others first, but i recommend it. This is the best Pixel Ripped game yet! Everything was made bigger and better, and with official Atari references too. This time around, you cannot use the xbox controller any more, but this is because the VR controllers are used better now. You still have classic 2D on a screen sequences, but there are a lot of full 3D-VR sequences too. And if you never played Atari 2600 games, it's not an issue. The 2D games in here are better platformers than anything from the real Atari 2600 era anyway.
Just as good as the first one.
