The value story

It has been discounted 84 times in the 11 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 80 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 82 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Truberbrook / Trüberbrook ($29.99, scores 24) and The Inner World ($14.99, scores 59) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

This game is genuinaly rubbish, and you should only buy it if the following factors apply; 1. You enjoy adventure caper storylines set in the past (1950s Cold War in this case) 2. You are prepared to put up with many areas of subpar graphics and cutscenes that look far worse than the first game 3. You are prepared to put up with frequent bugs and crashing. Just starting the game would take me half a dozen times on...
KingslayerNot recommendedafter 5.7hDec 2025Read on Steam
A Cold War-flavored point-and-click thriller with a strong family-drama core. It delivers plenty of stylish, dramatic set pieces, even if the transitions between them can feel a bit rough.
