The value story

The value story

Across all 108 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 90 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 12 days ago.

It is pricier than 79 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 97 percent. Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem ($19.99, scores 2) outscores it, and so does Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr ($49.99, scores 48). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

First bootup, screen resolution was incorrect, second start no sound. Third restart, everything seems good until I press start then crash. I can't recomment.

The game feels outdated with clunky controls and poor graphics. The gameplay is shallow, and it quickly becomes monotonous. Overall, it's disappointing and not engaging enough for modern players.

If you can score this while it's on sale, I suggest giving it a try. Actually didn't mind this one.
