The value story
The lowest price on record is $4.49, set in July 2025. 32 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 92 percent. On the same math The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners - Chapter 2: Retribution ($9.99, scores 14) and Vertigo 2 ($29.99, scores 70) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
Steam's global achievement data puts under 1 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On an 8.6-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 649 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 31 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 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 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 25 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 31 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 42 percent of the 448 reviews written there were positive, against 55 percent overall, and those are 56 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
The Good - Overall visuals are good considering the time it was released. They still hold up in mid-2026 for a VR game The Neutral - X-Ray Cam is always at a very weird angle for me. Its cool when I'm at an angle that lets me see what is actually happening. The Bad - Controls are janky - The level and mission design feel like a regression to early 2000s FPS quality - Bullets will pass thru enemies without actually...
The game has reasons to have such reviews. I've put together this little compilation of the most widespread and personal complaints about the game in one place. The list will go from the most to the least critical issues: Maps, Movement/Comfort, Local AI, Firearms handling, Cosmetics and Achievements. Map variety: There are 19 levels in total, but with one huge caveat: the majority of levels are reused throughout...
After a 7-8ish h story, i can say I only enjoyed one mission. A mission that actually made it feel like a Sniper Elite game. I am so dissappinted in this game. On top of the most infuriating aspect of the game which I will go to soon, the game is suffering from a clear lack of Game Design skills. Even to the basic structure of progress. There comes a progress stop where it requires you to go back and complete...
