What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • Steam lists in-app purchases but we have no detail on them. Small caution applied.
Raising the score
ValueFree
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Holding it back
Reviews65% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach350K+ owners
How many own it, by SteamSpy's estimate (an old snapshot). A free game has no price to weigh, so this is its value read
MonetizationIn-app purchases
Steam lists in-app purchases and nothing more is known, so a small haircut
For context
RefundsFree
A free game cannot be refunded, so the label never applies
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

It is less well reviewed than 81 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Dirty Bomb® (free, scores 58) beats it on value, while it beats A.V.A Global (free, scores 0).

It is still busy. 80 players were online when we last checked, on Oct 14, 15:48 UTC, across 14 days of weekly checks.

No data upstream: length (HowLongToBeat), critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
