Across all 98 discounts in the 12 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.
It is cheaper than 83 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 86 percent. STAR WARS™: Dark Forces Remaster ($29.99, scores 54) outscores it, and so does Painkiller: Black Edition ($9.99, scores 73). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

It's a great game and and good atmosphere if you embrace all the jank; totally worth it
Adorable and entirely dysfunctional slavjank title. Neither the original game 'Metro-2' nor its Steam release deserve praise, as you have to install a patch and tinker with the settings to even start a new game. If you actually manage to, you'll find inside: weird bespoke engine made just for this game it feels like that has broken movement and allows for uncapped velocity bunnyhopping; annoying gunplay with some...
