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. We scored it as a typical Shooter game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $4.49, set in October 2025. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 28 in the 6 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today's $7.49 at 75 percent off still sits 67 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Mass Effect™: Andromeda Deluxe Edition ($7.99, scores 35) beats it on value, while it beats Star Wars Outlaws ($17.49, scores 28).

Critics scored it 89, but players land 13 points lower at 76 percent. The reviews were kinder than the room.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 5 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 15 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 41 percent of the 374 reviews written there were positive, against 76 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it. It carries the aggressive kind of in-app purchases, and the score already docks it for that. The sticker price is where the spending starts.

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.
