71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game is definitely worth the 10$ I spent on it, as I enjoyed the campaign, and I see myself coming back to the game for both experiencing the campaign multiple times in the future, and messing around in the god mode.

The sound design is also exceptional with 3 different dynamic range settings to best fit whatever audio equipment you may be using.
