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.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $3.99, set in September 2022. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 45 in the 7 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 7 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.

It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 98 percent. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora™ ($16.49, scores 47) outscores it, and so does STAR WARS™: Squadrons ($3.99, scores 15). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

The press liked it more than its buyers did, 69 against 43 percent.

Players rate it 43 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 33 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 6 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 18 percent of the 2,824 reviews written there were positive, against 43 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.

9.2 hours to finish it, 33 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.5 times the campaign.

What players say

I don't really get why they made this game. I played through Wolfenstein 1, 2, and then this all in sequential order, and this is definitely the worst of them. I know a lot of people complained that the Blazkowicz daughters were unlikeable... they are to some extent, but not as bad as some were saying. The gunplay is fun, I guess. I personally didn't care for the open world sections, but they allowed some gameplay...

This game is horrendous. Where is the game, this is a collectathon with a few killings in between.
MMG ManNot recommendedafter 3.4hAug 2026Read on Steam
Not as bad as people make it out to be, but can be very grindy for completionists. Grab on sale only.

[![BANG Score](https://steambangers.com/api/badge/1056960)](https://steambangers.com/game/1056960/wolfenstein-youngblood)

The 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.

A number here look wrong? Tell me what it got wrong and I will look at the inputs behind it.
