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
The lowest price on record is $2.49, set in June 2026. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 9 in the 6 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 68 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Battlefield 4™ ($3.99, scores 60) beats it on value, while it beats BATTALION: Legacy (free, scores 7).
Players rate it 71 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 63 percent. Something recent has soured the room. None of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 46 percent of the 11,109 reviews written there were positive, against 71 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, currency); the score docks it lightly for that.
Finishing takes 6.2 hours; clearing it takes 37, which is 5.9 times the campaign.
It came out 6 years ago and 6.3K were still playing it at the last check.

What players say
Not as good as Battlefield 1, but still a damn fun WWII experience. The multiplayer is fast, chaotic and incredibly satisfying, especially when everything starts blowing up around you. It may not have the same atmosphere as BF1, but the gameplay is great and there's still a lot of fun to be had here. Definitely worth playing if you want a good WWII experience.
One of the best WWII games. The gameplay feels good and the overall multiplayer experience is incredible. The only thing I hate about this game is cheaters.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Battlefield™ V scores 27/100 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/1238810/battlefield-vThe 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 Sep 10, price as of Sep 21.
