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.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

good
Nuclear Nightmare understands that survival is at its best when every decision carries weight. It doesn't rely on overwhelming the player with mechanics or constant action. Instead, it creates tension through uncertainty, limited resources, and the feeling that the environment itself is just as dangerous as the creatures within it. What stood out to me most was the atmosphere. The frozen landscape feels isolated in a way that few games manage to capture. Visibility is limited, every expedition into the wilderness feels like a risk, and the quiet moments are often more unsettling than the encounters themselves. The game gives you space to absorb its world, which makes the tension feel natural rather than manufactured. I also appreciate that it doesn't hand you easy solutions. Survival depends on preparation, awareness, and adapting when things inevitably go wrong. The game trusts you to learn its systems through experience, making success feel earned instead of guaranteed. Whether you're playing alone or with friends, the unpredictability keeps every session memorable. The stories that emerge aren't scripted. They're the result of small decisions, unexpected mistakes, and the constant pressure to survive just a little longer. Nuclear Nightmare has a clear identity and never loses sight of it. It values atmosphere over spectacle and player-driven experiences over scripted moments. Those are the kinds of games that stay with me long after I stop playing, and it's an easy recommendation.

yeah i like this one
Reviewing every game I've played in my Steam Library. Game 34 Early Access Review. The game is fun, captures the movie 'John Carpenter's The Thing' atmosphere very well. The monsters and genuinely scary, and the mechanics and weird monster behaviours are a stand out. However, core mechanics need work, picking things up prompt doesn't always show and the camera moves around a little too much when completing actions. Generators are constantly getting turned off and the game can get drawn out and repeititve. It needs some more time to cook and refinement of core game systems. My advice is play with friends or wait until its had more work. For the Dev i commend your efforts the atmosphere rocks but now you gotta button down and refine all the key mechanics, adding things like perks is easy, refining all the core systems and making the monster have more unique interactions with players is a must to retain long term interest. Things like making the monster target people who are alone and morph into other players and behave more convincingly will help elevate gameplay. Good work
It's glitchy as hell but honestly it's a real blast with a god group of people!
я в сугробе умер
Игра стоит обосранного кресла
Multiplayer The Thing. its a bit trial and error until you realize all that you've got to do. combat is clunky but i feel that may be on purpose like with silent hill 2(og version not the remake).
бред, но смешно
Прикольная игрушка Больше страшная когда вы играете с друзьями , а 1 тоже поиграть можно Но больше и наверно лучше играть в КООП
