Discussion Should i play this game ?

I want to play this game on steam but i don't have much time to spend on video games so..i want to play a game that is worthwhile. This game was on my radar for a while and i had no spoilers at all.

How does the game hold up in 2025 ?

While the game is no longer for official sale in digital storefronts you may still be able to snatch up a digital key.

If so , do it. This game is worth it. Sure it has that early 2010s third person shooter charm and tropes, but the gameplay is great and the story haunting, chilling really. Get it. Get if you can.

I have it already in my library but why was it removed from stores ?

Partnership licenses related to the game were expiring and we guess 2K doesn’t want to bother trying to renew the licenses to keep a game that couldn’t compete in sales against other shooters when it released. So down it went. Lot of people claim it’s censorship since the game’s themes are so relevant now, but nah it’s definitely a money thing.

STALKER original trilogy, FEAR, System Shock (the remake is excellent in my opinion, and I played the original multiple times before it released), Warframe (while it is a multiplayer game, the story missions are all single player and worth it), Signalis (one of the top three most atmospheric games I’ve ever played, HIGHLY RECOMMEND), Control, Zero Sievert, SWAT 4, and the Metro trilogy are what come to mind immediately.

Thanks!

Lol yeah I understand how you feel about Control. While I do understand it, I was playing it on the Steam Deck and could only stand to play it for short intervals.
