The value story

88 discounts in the 14 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is less well reviewed than 99 percent of its genre. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Vegas 2 ($9.99, scores 64) outscores it, and so does Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction™ ($9.99, scores 24). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

80 on Metacritic, 35 percent from players. A gap this way round is usually launch damage or a slow decline.

9 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2020 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,422 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 401 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 28 percent of the 430 reviews written there were positive, against 35 percent overall, and those are 24 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

A terrible port that ruins an alright game This has got to be the worst port of a game I've ever played. It is beyond broken. There are patches and fixes you can apply to the game but it will break either way. Here's a wall of complaints I have about the game: -- Too linear (reminds me of Pandora Tomorrow) -- The game just randomly crashes. -- You can accidentally delete your save by clicking 'Load' while in game...

The constant performance issues and crashing is just too much to enjoy this entry. The actual gameplay is just fine more chaos theory and would be great if the port wasn't so broken
