The value story

The value story

Across all 7 discounts in the 15 months tracked, the median cut is 33 percent, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

Its score puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 79 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, DOOM + DOOM II ($9.99, scores 96) beats it on value, while it beats DOOM 64 ($4.99, scores 87).

$25.74 is where it would stop being a BANGER.
