The value story

February 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $13.99. 29 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 25 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, NIMRODS ($9.99, scores 59) beats it on value, while it beats ANVIL ($24.99, scores 8).

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 20 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 551 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.

TL;DR Perplexity 2030? Wot I liked - Elaborate bullet physics: there's ballistics, penetration, varios location hits, shrapnel and ricocheting; - Same frantic action as Synthetik 1: bullets flying everywhere, explosions, desperate clutches, trying unjam your gun or fumbing your reload; - Truly tactical shooting experience: enemies are truly smart and tactical: they rarely try to zerg you head on, use their strong...

Nice gameplay however very short, needs way more content. Devs if you're reading this, how about start by making the starter weapons matter more than 30 seconds after game starts ? Progression is too fast as well.
