It has been discounted 84 times in the 13 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 80 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 4 days ago.
It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 84 percent. Dead Space™ 2 ($19.99, scores 69) outscores it, and so does METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN ($19.99, scores 74). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
I genuie love this game. The story is great since it is kinda the ''first'' Lost planet game before the first and second game. The soundtrack / mix tape is great. Fun to wander the rig and listen to some music and coffee hahaha. The graphics is also good. If u like good story based game u deff would like this. And ofc most of us missing lost planet 2.

THAT was a rollercoaster. So first, the good. The game has great atmosphere. The snowy storms, the heavy winds, the abandoned bases overran by Akrid. It was easy to immerse and feel the chill on my shoulders. The on-foot combat was partly cover-based, but overally didn't feel as cumbersome as classic cover shooters. Weaponry variety is nice. Story is fine enough. Graphics are fine. But who in their right mind...
not surprised only 22% played it long enough to reach chapter 2 the mysteeerious base reveal. its a bland arcade shooter whose horrible gameplay and enemy design overshadows the ookaay story and okay world design. the characters are all walking annoying satire so the dialogue are bad too sadly and nobody you actly want to talk to. worth 5 bucks still tho

About the game
The extreme and unpredictable conditions that characterized the Lost Planet series return, harsher than ever before. Lost Planet 3 reveals new truths about the foreboding planet and the colonial history of E.D.N. III.
