The value story
The value story
Across all 38 discounts in the 4 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.
Against its own genre its score lands in the top 46 percent. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre. Dead Island 2 ($49.99, scores 48) outscores it, and so does Killing Floor 2 ($2.99, scores 66). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
You've probably noticed how every popular negative review has insane hours of playtime. That's because this game is like a white woman in India. Core gameplay is very addicting, but everything around it is questionable. 4 base classes and 3 DLC classes to choose from, all with different strengths, weaknesses and playstyles. Level them to max level, choose 30 perks, see how far you can bring them into increasing...

One thing about this game is i love is rewatching the intro every time i launch the game to get hyped lol. makes me feel like im lauching into the lore in real time.
As mentioned in other comments, the game is great in terms of gameplay. Unfortunately, it's impossible to play without constant stuttering and frame rate drops, even on lower settings. After 4 years, the developers still refuse to address the optimization issues and fix this mess. Given that, I can't enjoy the game, even though the new classes look great and I'd love to buy those DLCs. They've left AMD behind.
