The value story
December 2021 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. It has been discounted 46 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.
Value puts it in the top 22 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 79 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Mirror's Edge™ ($19.99, scores 55) and Haste ($19.99, scores 76) both outscore it.
Players rate it 80 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 65 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 20 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2025 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 53 percent of the 1,921 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

Ok game, wouldn't say it's any better than ME1, you can't use any guns here and now the game is a big open world city with missions, side missions too. There's an annoying bug that won't let you load in the game because EA shut down their servers, so you have to block the access with your firewall, typical EA not caring at all.
THERE IS A RISK IF YOU BUY THIS GAME!!! This game is made for online, then EA just shut it down without fixing it. There are many reviews that it doesn't work past the first cutscene. If you encounter that, the workaround is by simply turning your EA app offline (good luck finding it), blocking the game via firewall, disconnecting your internet before launching the game, or using the BeatLink Server if you want...
