About the game
Third person shooter action adventure game with post-apocalyptic theme. Witness the adventures of Victor and his friends in this abandoned world.
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 8 GB of memory, AMD Radeon R9 285, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 or better, 15 GB of storage. Windows only.
The value story
It has been discounted 56 times in the 6 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 50 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $9.99 at 50 percent off still sits 150 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
It is pricier than 76 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 76 percent. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist ($19.99, scores 44) outscores it, and so does METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES ($19.99, scores 59). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
More about Potentia
13 of the 349 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2021 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,422 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 43 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 13 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 56 percent of the 110 reviews written there were positive, against 68 percent overall, and those are 32 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
It's a nice game for a small developer company at the beginning of the road. But the gameplay is very monotonous. As far as I can see, we only encounter the same type of enemy in the game. There are very limited things to do, loot is limited to ammo only. Highlights of the game: make your way through narrow corridors, collect bullets, shoot whatever you encounter. I wish it had taken a little more effort ...

The Idea is great. The game is solid. The sound acting... HORRIBLE! I thought it was dubbed over or something.
This game wishes it was The Last of Us. Awful controls and gunplay. Awful story and dialogue. Awful level design. etc. For $20 you can buy several games actually worth playing on Steam.
