What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.
The value story
June 2019 is where it bottomed out, at $19.99. It has been discounted 33 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 12 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 12 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 45 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 80 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Used Cars Simulator ($19.99, scores 33) beats it on value, while it beats Black One Blood Brothers ($17.99, scores 31).
Players rate it 80 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 70 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 117 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,221 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 16 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 8 of the 117 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 55 percent of the 2,223 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 31 percent of everything written about it.

Blood Trail scores 32/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). Length is not in our data, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1032430/blood-trailThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Aug 2, price as of Sep 24.
