Come on. If you have issues with cdkeys just contact them and they make it right. They accept PayPal as well. Steam keys are region locked, so not sure where people are getting their information.

Agreed. Reviews made it look so good so I bought it for $40 on PS5 and it's just like you said. Really unoptimized with lots of tech issues and the gameplay is just super basic shooting endlessly. Upgrades and weapons do nothing to make the game more interesting and side missions and things are boring.

I was letdown by the hype for the game and think this is more suited for picking up for $10 or less, or on PS Plus if you're a PS gamer.

Edit: I'll also add that I love the original movie and think it still holds up, but like you said, it's very much a fan service kind of game.
I'm glad you mentioned the upgrades and weapons not making the game any more interesting. I should have touched on that.

Well yeah, they're good for it if it's close to your purchase date, but my keys got flagged a year after I bought them so I was SOL.

When your keys got flagged, did you receive notifications on steam, or did the titles just vanish / stop working at some point?

I'm curious to know the answer to this also.

I have answered my own question, I went through all the emails of games I purchased through cdkeys over the years, and there was 8 total. All but 7 are still in my steam games list, so 1 did get removed and there is no notification from steam saying they removed it but they did. It was Star Wars Squadrons, I had purchased it on 8-10-2021 for $0.79 from cdkeys and I always redeem my codes right away. I tried entering the code right now and it says code is invalid, I then tried a code from another cdkeys game already installed and it says the code is already redeemed to the current account. I then tried entering a random code I know was redeemed from someone else that got it from another steam post and that code says its redeemed to another account. So my Star Wars Squadrons code has been made invalid.

Something to think about now when considering ordering from cdkeys, I didn't think that would happen since I never had a problem before, on the positive side of things I do have Star Wars Squadrons on my epic games account from a free giveaway.

I think I paid around $20 for this last year. If you love OG Robocop (pretending the 3rd movie never happened) and like blowing off perp's melons with the auto-9 pistol, you'll have a good time. The downsides mentioned here are real.... it is pretty repetitive. Robocop is a walking tank, and he moves so slow. Some of the side missions like writing parking tickets or hunting for evidence get old quick. A couple of the main missions have issues. I was never able to defeat the final boss (The Old Man) and I gave up after 25-30 attempts. This will probably get cheaper at some point.

I feel like I got my $20 worth, but it has zero replay value for me. Only my love of Robocop made me play it as long as I did. YMMV

It's in line with the first two DeusEx games.
It's fun and interesting but by no means a AAA game.

Decent game. Little fun gun mechanic where you can "overclock" your gun to auto fire or single fire instead of the burst shots. You can also mod it so either you are faster walking, or are more resistance to grenades. Some boss fires are pretty tough, but you can cheese the fights too if you think outside the robot. For 20 bucks its not a bad buy. It tunnels you on pretty much every stage but some stages you can enter from 2 different entrances to get the same result which is a good spin. Its got a decent skill leveling mechanic - not too bad.

I had playstation plus subscription passes that I at on for 2 years and when I cashed them in they were invalid. I sent them all the things they asked for and they sent me gift cards for the same amount I spent.

I have bought many games from then also that all still work. Are you really telling over a $0.79 game? Maybe it's delisted and something happened. I'm sure if you talk to them, they'll refund you. But again.... it's only $0.79.

Star Wars Squadrons is still alive on steam, not about it being $0.79 or $20.00, I was just letting people know that what the other poster mentioned about games getting removed was true. Maybe it was $0.79 because cdkeys knew it had a high chance of being made invalid and figured people wouldn't ask for a refund being the price was so low.
Just something to consider now when buying something from them in the future, I probably would still buy something in the 5 to 10.00 range but wouldn't go higher than that.
I'm really trying to make my game purchases from GOG and not Steam, Steam forcing windows 10 to view and launch games using their client software had already made me look elsewhere for game purchases, that being GOG.

I decided to search slickdeals old posts and found out I was wrong about Steam removing the game, https://slickdeals.net/f/15315706-star-wars-squadrons-pc-digital-download-0-80-w-2-sd-cashback?page=6&src=&prop=&attrsrc=#comments

This was a origin key from cdkeys, others in that post had their games removed too, so Steam wasn't the one that removed the game, it was Origin. That being said, it was back in 2021 and if no one else has had anything disappear since then maybe cdkeys is still ok to buy from. If not for the poster that mentioned cdkeys having issues with games being revoked later on I never would have known about this squadrons game that I bought years back, I don't use Origin anymore.

RE: CDkeys
I have 19 prior game purchases showing on my CDKeys account, I never had anything revoked. Last purchase was in 2022 though, so many other sites have popped up with similar or better deals that I haven't used CDK in a while. I do always try to check Humble, Fanatical, Green Man first.
