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): 4.44/day in the week to Aug 4 → 31.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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
First of all, the game looks beautiful. The Cyberpunk vibe is really nailed. The music is top notch and I really enjoyed the combat and gunplay. However, the game is not optimized. It will crash and it will freeze. It will also use almost 100% of your gpu (I'm running a 5070TI 16gb VRAM). Even with great specs this will happen. It ran better for the first 30-40% of the game then it suddenly throttled the performance. On top if it all, the quest location markers are atrocious. The game will have you running in circles alot to figure out where you really should go. Cause sometimes, even the markers don't know. It gets a 5/10 from me. If the performance, quest markers and fast travel was improved I would have given it a 7/10. I finished all the main missions and side quests anyways cause the vibe was good and I realized after half of the game that the fast travel didn't get any better. You will never have faster movement speed so you will just run and run and run and run for 50% of your playtime. TLDR: it's a cyberpunk running simulator with some shooting in between.

As a huge fan of the cyberpunk genre: this game feels like what cyberpunk 2077 would be if it was trying to stay true to the table top rpg.
Frequent crashes.
game feels like its meant to be played with friends and i have none of those, would be good to get proper ai followers that are permanent
Игра великолепная. Проходил ее уже три раза (пару раз на консоли) и все еще очень доволен. Насыщенные деталями локации, кучи секреток и отсылок а так же огромный простор для кастомизации своего головореза просто не дадут скучать. Велес (планета, на которой происходят события игры) полон как и веселых моментов, так и совсем уж грустных. Кучи доп миссий и реально хорошая компания в связке с крутыми пушками будут приносить удовольствие не один десяток часов
Kann es nicht mit Maus und Tastatur spielen. Ich kann mich zwar bewegen aber Maus-aim funktioniert bei mir nicht. Keine Lösung gefunden und da dies das einzige spiel ist das solche ein Problem aufweist, sorry Devs.. mies.
No control over camera angle <- this is a crime, especially when the devs have decided in some places it's so zoomed in you can't see more than 15 feet in front of you. Aiming mechanics wonky. Dying means fighting your way back through areas you've already cleared.
buggy as hell co-op. Otherwise, pretty solid fun
【NOT RECOMMENDED 不推荐6/10 】 非常尴尬的一款游戏，美术硬派，设计却乏善可陈，而且有大量干扰游玩流畅度的设计点，让人很快就疲惫了 太可惜了
Gave it a shot in co-op but it felt really clunky and undercooked. The concept is great no doubt, but the execution isn't - and it honestly feels to me like it didn't get enough development time. I'm actually really disappointed about this one because I was very much looking forward to playing it, as it seemed to be a Diablo-like with a cyberpunk setting similar to Ghostrunner's, and I should have liked it in theory, but the combat didn't feel good at all, which for this type of game is my number one criterion.
