The value story

The value story

It has been discounted 56 times in the 10 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 90 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

Its score puts it in the top 37 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 66 percent. Turok 2: Seeds of Evil ($3.99, scores 79) outscores it, and so does Shadow Warrior Classic Redux ($9.99, scores 73). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What players say

Such a classic gem. Personal favorite over og Doom and Quake titles, overall great game.

Never played Duke Nukem and I find it more enjoyable than most of newer games. It's just fun gameplay overall, 10 different guns. Game starts up fast and quits fast, no complicated menus to go through. The save system is brilliant, never seen a game do that. The game also has interactive lights which most new games don't bother with anymore. Most environment objects are destroyable which I like. Don't quite like how...
