Wait Chip's verdict · US updated 22 days ago

Good game, but it sits 100% of the way from its all-time low to full price, and this 0% cut is shy of its usual 51%. It drops harder in seasonal sales. Patience pays. Next likely dip around Jul 20.

Better option Check and Slash at $2.44 saves $2.55 against this edition.
