The value story

Across all 92 discounts in the 9 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 4 weeks apart. Today's $1.64 at 85 percent off still sits 50 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 24 percent on value. Among the games that feel like it, Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter ($14.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Fashion Police Squad ($19.99, scores 53).

What players say

I'd buy that for a dollar! No but seriously I got this on sale for a little over a dollar and was thoroughly satisfied with it, the levels were fun to play and fairly diverse, the humor was pretty good and I'm a sucker for these retro looking games. I will say that the gun play was okay all things considered, but probably could've been a little better. Still, I hope to see more out of Agent 7!

I don't even know how I stumbled upon this gem of a game, either I was watching an older MoistCritical video or I just randomly came across it and thought to myself that it looks super similar to Agent 64: Spies Never Die, which should be coming out soon. Honestly, I have no idea, but one thing's for sure: for the €0.89 I bought it for, it's totally worth it. There are tons of funny situations, references, and jokes...

The check points are ruining this for me. I hate a FPS without quick save. Maybe I'll come back another time. --- Reading reviews just confirmed what I already knew. This game sucks. Bummer.
