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 $1.99, set in January 2025. It has been discounted 46 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 85 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today's $3.99 at 90 percent off still sits 101 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
At full price it scores 37. The current cut is what makes it a 64.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 19 percent on value. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 74 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Verdun ($19.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Battlefield™ V ($4.99, scores 27).
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 5 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 8,350 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 4 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 main story runs 6.7 hours. Doing everything runs 27, 4.0 times as long.

What players say
This is probably still thee best Battlefield out of the series currently. BF3, 4 and BC2 were great don't get me wrong but in terms of immersion and quality this one is hands down vastly better. The graphics and physics still hold up 10 years later and honestly hugely beat BF6 and the other newer releases. Almost everything feels great about this BF and I highly recommend to pick this up if you are a Battlefield...
Absolutely wonderful game, servers still very very active and the playerbase is not too tryhard, you know you want it
this game released in 2016... and its still the best WW1 shooter on the market. God bless battlefield 1.

Battlefield™ 1 scores 64/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1238840/battlefield-1The 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 11, price as of Sep 24.
