The value story

Across all 78 discounts in the 8 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 60 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 78 percent. On the same math Crimsonland ($13.99, scores 77) and Blackout Z: Slaughterhouse Edition ($4.99, scores 42) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say

For some reason less than a quarter of people who have played this game have played it far enough for it to actually begin, it's not just a zombie shooter in a garage, just as resident evil one wasn't all set in a mansion, and there are also fully armed human enemies and plenty of variety between them, in reality this is a masterfully made survival horror/shooter with a banging soundtrack, fantastic visuals, great...

This game is strange but fun. The combat feels nice most of the time, the soundtrack is good, and the atmosphere is weird in a cool way. It's not very long, but it keeps things interesting most of the time.
