The lowest price on record is $5.99, set in May 2018. It has been discounted 29 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today's $13.39 at 33 percent off still sits 124 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Take the discount away and it is a 37. With it, 40.

a lot of improvements over previous game but I like that game more than this it was much smaller but tactic gameplay was more enjoyable for me because of additional action points for each turn but nevertheless this is good game too
I think it's a fun puzzle game. It's nothing too fancy but the terminator view is fun and it's actually a comfort game I come back to every few years or so. If thinking about which corridors you want to cover and watching a terminator shoot an obscene number of bugs sounds fun, it could be worth checking out.
Goated, most certainly, with the sauce. This game is amazing. I have no idea what people were on about with the controls being clumsy or difficult. The game is exceedingly simple to understand and play, and the actual content here offers hundreds of hours of replayability. When I started the game up, I saw about 8 different icons on the in-game map. "Okay", I thought, "the game has 8 missions for me to do right...
