About the game
The story of Twin Sector takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where the remains of mankind have been put to artificial sleep in cryogenic chambers deep under the contaminated surface of earth — until the planet becomes habitable again. You as the player must take the role of Ashley Simms, the protagonist of Twin Sector.

The value story
Across all 100 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 60 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

This game might get bad reviews, but I really enjoy it and just finished my 2nd play-through of the game. I think this illustrates that you shouldn't listen to reviews, and try games out for yourself if it looks interesting to you and/or an interesting setting/premise. Specifically some thing I like about the game: 1) Setting and back story about the "surface going to hell" and humanity waiting it out in cryo tubes...
