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

Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reach1.5M+ owners
How many own it, by SteamSpy's estimate (an old snapshot). A free game has no price to weigh, so this is its value read
MonetizationNone

RefundsFree
A free game cannot be refunded, so the label never applies
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

Maps have great look, a few are in Normandy, one is in Poland!, two in Netherland/Holland! from Market Garden operation, two more in Italy, and just more. So what happened? Gameplay is like Counter-Strike + Cod combo, set on engine similar to Hell Let Loose. Yes. But older version...
