The value story

The lowest price on record is $14.99, set in September 2025. It has been discounted 14 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 25 percent off, with about 12 weeks between sales. $13.03 is what it would take to make this a BANGER, and nothing in its history goes that low.

On value it sits in the top 16 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Sanctum 2 ($2.99, scores 82) beats it on value, while it beats Vertigo Remastered ($19.99, scores 61).

Steam's global achievement data puts 26 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. 5 of the 421 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 79 percent of the 260 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

This is an incredibly fun, occasionally difficult, VR shooter. There are comfort options, but it helps to be very comfortable with playing VR with stick controls. As far as the story goes, imagine if Half-Life 1 happened at Aperture Science. If that doesn't make sense to you, imagine a great shooter starting in a lab that takes you to wild locations with zany characters. There are so many great weapons, enemies, and...

Eh getting softlocked on a rail shooter section where the guns sight does not line up with where the shots go does not give mutch faith in the rest of the game
