The value story

September 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $27.99. It has gone on sale once in the 67 days tracked here, most recently in September 2026.

It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War ($59.99, scores 28) beats it on value, while it beats Call of Duty®: Black Ops 7 ($69.99, scores 0).

Players rate it 45 percent positive over its lifetime, and the last 30 days run 68 percent. It is aging into a better game than its average suggests. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; none were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written November 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 102 reviews written there were positive, against 45 percent overall, and those are 1 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 8.5 hours; clearing it takes 40, which is 4.7 times the campaign.
