The value story

The value story

57 discounts in the 9 years on record, a median of 80 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $2.99 at 80 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Its score sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. The nearest things to it, Company of Heroes - Legacy Edition ($36.99, scores 89) and Company of Heroes 3 ($19.79, scores 3), are both worse buys on this math.

What players say

A true masterpiece game I played the complete campaign several times. Too bad Relic has lost the way!
