Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Son of a Gun
I spent a couple hours with Son of a Gun expecting another pixel-art bullet-sponge, but what I got was a surprisingly tight arcade loop. You're managing a rotating roster of guns mid-fight, swapping between shotguns, rapid-fire popguns, and explosives depending on what the horde throws at you. The twin-stick controls feel responsive, and the visual feedback from each gun hitting enemies is meaty enough to keep the momentum going. Enemy variety keeps things from getting stale, cycling between the expected zombies and bugs and throwing in heavier robots and weird space creatures. The friction point is that it's straightforward to a fault. No progression hooks, no unlocks, no narrative reason to keep playing past the first few runs. It's pure arcade action - show up, kill everything, move on. If you want a no-nonsense shooter that respects your time and doesn't demand 40 hours of your life, this hits the spot. Otherwise, it's a solid arcade snack that won't stick around.
