The game is just playable for graphics and adventure. It was boring at first for its repetitive gameplay from Gears 4 like juvies,swarms attacks, and there wasn't a single storyline I could follow properly.

The lowest price on record is $4.49, set in July 2026. It has been discounted 43 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 66 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today's $4.49 at 85 percent off matches that floor. It does not get cheaper than this.
Steam's global achievement data says about under 1 percent of players ever finish it. On an 11.3-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Budget past the sticker: it carries the aggressive kind of in-app purchases, and the score already docks it for that.
