No-Microtransaction BANGERS

Written by Jordan Allen Lewis · list · updated 1h ago

Buy it once and own all of it, with no in-game spending detected.

Almost nothing in the catalog registers any detected in-game spending, so on its own a no-microtransactions filter does very little. Of the games that score 84 or better, 19 register any, so the clause removes 19 games. Both clauses are here anyway, zero detected in-game monetization plus a BANG of 84 or better, and 531 games clear them. I set the score bar at 84 instead of the lower bar I use on softer lists because the score is the part doing the work.

Here is the soft part. mtx_level is read off Steam tags and store notices, so a 0 means nothing was detected. No human confirmed the game is clean, and a small game with a quiet cosmetic shop and no tag for it passes straight through. The cut also says nothing about DLC, which is how most premium games actually take a second payment from you. If your real complaint is a forty dollar season pass, this list will not help.

Hexcells is 97 and runs 2 hours, and there has never been anything to buy inside it. Zup! S sits at 96.3 across 1.3 hours and 16,105 reviews. STEINS;GATE is 93.3 and 26.3 hours of visual novel.
