The value story

The value story

Across all 102 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 86 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 1 percent. It is cheaper than 65 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Deus Ex: Invisible War ($6.99, scores 5) and System Shock: Enhanced Edition ($1.99, scores 79).

$26.93 is where it would stop being a BANGER.

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

Raising the score
Cost per hour$0.31/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
For context
Refunds7 of 718 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
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

Played back in the days the mac version and now replayed the steam version. Just mind blowing, how many game features this game had, for a 2000 released game. Everything works, only the manual save don't work. So you need to use quick save. Depend on your preference, you can change your game resolution in the deus ex.ini and your FOV in the user.ini.

About the game

The year is 2052. The world's economies are close to collapse and the gap between the insanely wealthy and the desperately poor grows ever wider. Worst of all, an ages old conspiracy bent on world domination has decided that the time is right to emerge from the shadows and take control.
