The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.99, set in October 2019. 62 discounts in the 11 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

It is cheaper than 72 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 87 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Black Mesa ($19.99, scores 84) beats it on value, while it beats Call of Duty®: Infinite Warfare ($59.99, scores 7).

6 of the 475 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 223 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 45 percent of the 352 reviews written there were positive, against 61 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

You play as Adrian from Opposing Force, the game is pretty short though. I'd recommend picking it up on a sale because of the quality and length
