13 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.

13 on sale2 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask

The 2 “not sold” markets are read from the Steam price pass of Sep 7: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price in those. The 13 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

A Zombie virus oubtreak, Manhattan, Superpowers and You. Yes, yes, and one more time; YES: First things first; the game's graphics have DEFINITELY not aged well and leave a lot to be desired. That being said, the combat, story, progression system, world design & overall gameplay more than make up for it - and then some. Being able to spend multiple hours just traversing the city, beating / slashing up enemies and STILL have fun is a testament to why this videogame was one of the best of the "Superhero" genre at the time, while barely even falling within the criteria to be considered one. Some might view the story as a cookie-cutter zombie narrative, mainly due to being reminiscent of Resident Evil's themes which the game quite apparently draws a LOT of inspiration from, however the occasional well-crafted plot twist, the methods of exploring the lore & backstory and how it all ties together provide a relatively fresh take on the experience. The one single issue I have with this game is how finicky the stealth consume is most of the time. Other than that; subjectively there's really nothing to complain about. Since playtime is quite short by today's standards, it is a fun game that can be finished within a free afternoon or two. Arguably worth even the full price, so definitely give it a try.
