The value story

The value story

53 discounts in the 6 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 91 percent. Need for Speed™ ($29.99, scores 22) outscores it, and so does Need for Speed™ Most Wanted ($19.99, scores 41). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

More about Burnout™ Paradise Remastered

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 33 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2025 to November 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,368 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 268 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 34 percent of the 2,867 reviews written there were positive, against 63 percent overall, and those are 38 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 10.8 hours; clearing it takes 38, which is 3.5 times the campaign.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Raising the score
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
Holding it back
Cost per hour$1.85/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
DRMEA account needed
Needs a second account on top of Steam, a small friction discount
Refunds33 of 800 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
For context
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

Burnout Paradise is an easy recommendation. As someone who doesn't play many racing games, this was perfect. It's racing but with no rules, you can, and should, smash your competitors constantly. You don't need to understand loads about cars, but it's still challenging, in the right way. You're in an open world, which is wonderfully designed, and you complete events to unlock more cars to progress. There's no story...

The Remastered version of Burnout Paradise is overall a great experience, but it has some pros and cons compared to the original version in my opnion: (Keep in mind that I haven't fully completed the Remastered version, nor have I tried the online): Pros: - The obvious: the added island is jam-packed with areas to discover and things to do, and the new truggy released with this addition fits the demands of that...
A Steam playerRecommendedafter 6.6hOct 2026Read on Steam
I loved the original game, and I bought the remaster in hopes for some modern adjustments (higher resolutions, active online features, etc.) But it turns out to be a waste of money, since the game would randomly crash at any point. Even though there are some patches and updates recently, it doesn't seem to fix the crashing issue.
