The value story

The value story

34 discounts in the 6 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 96 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners ($19.99, scores 57) and Space Pirates And Zombies 2 ($19.99, scores 51) both outscore it.

More about The Walking Dead Onslaught

Critics scored it 56, but players land 8 points lower at 48 percent. The reviews were kinder than the room.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 6 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 7.2-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 64 of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2020 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,424 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 11 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 5 of the 64 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. In its first 30 days on sale, 52 of 396 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 25 percent of the 518 reviews written there were positive, against 48 percent overall, and those are 56 percent of everything written about it.

Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones. Scored as 49% after the small-sample adjustment

Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock

Fun game, I got it because it was on sale but its not worth the full price, however it is worth on sale as it is similar to the saints and sinners now that game is worth more
EDP445Recommendedafter 4.1hDec 2025Read on Steam
Totally underrated gem, especially if you're a fan of TWD. I've had both Saints and Sinners games on my Quest 2 for sometime now and every time I've tried to play it, I could never get into it. The melee combat and gunplay in Onslaught is superior, the zombies move and look better and are far more unsettling. It's got characters you know and love. I like the the story mode with Darryl, even though you can beat the...
