Copied straight from steam.

is it worth it though?
Haha, I couldn't answer that for you my friend. It depends on whether or not you want all the extra stuff that comes with the deluxe edition. Like the soundtrack.
I personally don't want any of the extra stuff. Just the game itself. So, to me, it doesn't seem worth it.
