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.

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.

The value story

September 2014 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 75 in the 14 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 14 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.

Value puts it in the top 43 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 72 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Crysis Warhead® ($19.99, scores 50) beats it on value, while it beats Crysis ($29.99, scores 37).

5 of the 761 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 1,222 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 13 percent of everything written about it.

[![BANG Score](https://steambangers.com/api/badge/108800)](https://steambangers.com/game/108800/crysis-2-maximum-edition)

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 Jul 30, price as of Sep 24.
