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 $1.99. That was May 2024. 96 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 82 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Left 4 Dead 2 ($9.99, scores 98) beats it on value, while it beats Killing Floor 2 ($29.99, scores 66).
The press gave it 72; the people who bought it give it 95 percent. A 23-point gap in the buyer's favour.
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 24 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 79 percent of the 3,069 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 17.7 hours; clearing it takes 296, which is 17 times the campaign.

What players say
pov: you write reviews about games you haven't played in years. I remember many a nights staying up late laughing and screaming when I should be sleeping. This game had a chokehold on my friends and me.
The original 2009 Unreal Tournament mod turned standalone shooter that started the entire franchise with a grittier, darker survival horror vibe. The bad part is the outdated engine movement and painful perk grinding. Movement feels stiff and slow compared to modern shooters, making getting cornered by a sudden Scrake or Fleshpound an instant death sentence. Levelling up perks like Support or Demolitions requires...
got it to check it out and then refund it to save storage but i got addicted to a reason that is unkown to me

Killing Floor scores 94/100 on the BANG Score (a BANGER). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1250/killing-floorThe 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.
