The value story

It has been discounted 87 times in the 9 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 85 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $2.99 at 90 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Prototype™ ($19.99, scores 49) and God of War Ragnarök ($59.99, scores 63) both outscore it.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

I finished the game out of a sense of duty more than fun. The controls are decent but it's clumsy when it comes to maneuvering the character mid air. There is a lot of luck component in play which is, for me, contrary to the concept of killing giant, non armored monsters. I mean, why can't i just cut the leg above the armor? :v Was decent but no really worth buying unless on a discount.
