The value story

November 2017 is where it bottomed out, at $1.24. 60 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart.

It is cheaper than 75 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 79 percent. Among the games that feel like it, GOAT OF DUTY ($9.99, scores 58) beats it on value, while it beats Rise of the Triad ($14.99, scores 19).

29 from critics against 66 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 19 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 2.2-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 17 of the 558 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 73 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 613 reviews written there were positive, against 66 percent overall, and those are 50 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 2.2 hours; clearing it takes 5, which is 2.3 times the campaign.

What players say

Funny AF game but gameplay is so braindead; finished it under 3 hours on hardest difficulty. Further negative points for difficulty achievements not stacking and having RMB as grenade and spacebar as ADS, lol WTF? (Yes you can customize the key binding luckily) Everyone else complains about this game running like ass... which is weird as I am playing this on Bazzite and the performance was just fine. Zero crashes...

The ultimate in stinky boy gaming. It is kind of a time capsule of the 7th gen grey FPS, and its fast pace and simple approach is actually kinda nice, provided you get it for cheap, which you will now. A little basic and short though. Also if it wanted to be more accurate to Marsenko's life the loading screens would have a built in drinking mini game.
