The value story

It has never been cheaper than $6.11. That was May 2025. 17 discounts in the 8 years on record. They run about 33 percent off, roughly 24 weeks apart. The math puts its BANGER price at $6.83. The record reaches that level once.

On value it sits in the top 4 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Farming Simulator 15 ($12.99, scores 84) beats it on value, while it beats EMERGENCY 20 ($29.99, scores 63).

Critics scored it 71. Players sit 22 points higher at 93 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

This site sampled 399 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 3 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 55 percent of the 135 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 7 hours; clearing it takes 15, which is 2.1 times the campaign.

The Freeplay is really good and the amount of mods just add so much to the replayability.

Emergency 4 is a game where you are responsible for managing police, fire, medical, and technical units. While it's quite old, and the controls are not the greatest, it's extremely fun to play. You can play through a series of campaign missions, or play an endless game where you are responsible for managing the response to random events that will occur throughout the town. There are many mods avaliable if you get...
