Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Jul 30 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Reviews
Very lazy console port. Tutorial refers to a key board layout that make zero sense (expecting you to use the WASD keys *and* the arrow keys???), and does not tell you about mouse-only options (like using the mousewheel to change weapons, rather than the left arrow key). There is also no key binding or control menu, so god help you if you come back to this game in a few months and can't remember which arrow key does what, or want to customize your layout. It's 2025 and I expect more from experienced devs working with a major publisher. Gameplay was... alright, but I have a of games competing for my attention and this one didn't do anything special that made me want to play it over all of the other options.
