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

February 2016 is where it bottomed out, at $0.49. It has been discounted 16 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 11 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 13 percent on value. It is pricier than 67 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 80 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Long Drive ($15.99, scores 56) beats it on value, while it beats Guts and Glory ($14.99, scores 44).

1.6 hours to finish it, 10 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 6.1 times the campaign.

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.
