OK, I get that it's bad, but for [insert your deity here]'s sake don't buy it for that reason. And if you have to, just to keep the International Standard Crappy Game in your own private quarantine, please don't pay full price.
Instead, go out and buy an overlooked, but much better game. There's lots of them out there!
Get System Shock 2 on Steam. It's really fascinating to see the origins of Bioshock - before they learned how to better pace their player reward system. And SS2 had bees!
Or Far Cry 2 (personal bias). Or Painkiller! Or anything by Frictional games. Or Cryostasis (again, I liked it a lot) - if that ever becomes available again; its vanished from Steam and other sources. Or Organ Trail. Or...
Man. I'm looking at my library of Steam games and drawing a blank for colossal sleeper games. Did I really buy Endless Space during that last Steam sale? I don't remember being drunk.
...
P.S. Sorry Mars:War Logs, I wanted to like you, but you failed me. The reviews were right. Combat decent, everything else is sub-meh.
