The value story

The lowest price on record is $5.99, set in February 2024. Its cuts run 80 percent off as a rule. There have been 19 in the 3 years tracked, about 8 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Vanquish ($19.99, scores 58) beats it on value, while it beats DOOM VFR ($14.99, scores 0).

This site sampled 529 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 9 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 830 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 39 percent of the 337 reviews written there were positive, against 72 percent overall, and those are 32 percent of everything written about it.

I played this and the first ZoE on PS2, then replayed them both on the PS3 version, so my playtime on Steam doesn't reflect the amount of hours I've poured into this game (or the series). Love it though. ZoE2 is just good (and the first one is good, too, though more focused on story). Honestly, I've never been into the whole mech thing, but ZoE has been the sole exception, and still remains so to this day. Combat is...
