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

It has never been cheaper than $3.99. That was September 2025. 55 discounts in the 7 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 2 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.

On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. The nearest things to it, Transport Fever ($29.99, scores 61) and Rail Route ($9.99, scores 76), are both worse buys on this math.

76 from critics against 90 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

16 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2025 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 969 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.

41.7 hours to finish it, 109 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.6 times the campaign.

It came out 7 years ago and 3.5K were still playing it at the last check.

Deck Verified, so no launch options and no controller remapping before it runs.

What players say

I just play it on easy mode and watch tv at the same time. Just some relaxed clicking, it looks nice and works smooth. I can imagine that on harder modes its a nice challenge to puzzle and optimize

For whatever reason, I got super interested in trains when I turned 50. I guess that's just how it works when you hit this age: "Happy birthday, you're now obsessed with locomotives!" Anyhow, this game is pretty good for scratching that itch. It's basically a virtual model train set, with some extra bells and whistles. Pun fully intended. It's also fiddly, a little janky, difficult to learn, and an immense time...

[![BANG Score](https://steambangers.com/api/badge/1066780)](https://steambangers.com/game/1066780/transport-fever-2)

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 Sep 15, 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.
