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 $2.49. That was June 2014. Its cuts run 65 percent off as a rule. There have been 79 in the 14 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 5 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
It is less well reviewed than 66 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, The Evil Within 2 ($39.99, scores 66) beats it on value, while it beats The Texas Chain Saw Massacre ($14.99, scores 16).
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 59 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2025 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 725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 8 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 59 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 46 percent of the 3,263 reviews written there were positive, against 71 percent overall, and those are 41 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
With the Manhunt fixer from github, you can make the steam version be the best out of any platform, i think it's hilarious that rockstar is selling a badly cracked version of the game but it's worth buying on sale for the convenience of having it on steam alone. As for the game itself it really holds up well, amazing atmosphere, made back when Rockstar was obsessed with "The Warriors" and you can tell from the art...
Play it with the Manhunt fix patch, that's the only way to play this underrated masterpiece.
Me playing this game just shows my unc status. Still like it after all these years tho :p

Manhunt scores 30/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/12130/manhuntThe 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 1, price as of Sep 24.
