The verdict
No price makes this a value pick.
Reviews or length hold it below the tiers even at a deep discount.
$3.03/hr over the 3.3h main story, $0.66/hr if you 100% it (15.2h).
Better value than 69% of Shooter games
Surgeon Simulator is an over-the-top operation sim, stitching together pitch-black humour with life-saving surgery. Become Dr. Burke, a would-be surgeon with a less than conventional toolkit, as he performs procedures on patients including the Heavy from TF2! ...is that a hammer?
