The value story

The value story

57 discounts in the 13 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 72 weeks ago.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 1 percent. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including DmC: Devil May Cry ($29.99, scores 65) and Vanquish ($19.99, scores 58).

$55.99 is where it would stop being a BANGER.

This is by far, the coolest, most over the top action game I've ever seen. The music has been permanently engraved into my mind, every boss is phenominal, and every single beat drop sends chills up my spine. Kojima cooks so unbelievably hard that he can make a bossfight with a character I've never even heard of until 2 minutes ago, and make it better than any modern AAA game. Absolutely 'solid'.
