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
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.
Holding it back
Reviews74% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Refunds53 of 800 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
Early accessUnfinished
Still in development, a small confidence discount until 1.0
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is
For context
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
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

23 discounts in the 4 years on record, a median of 35 percent off across all of them, roughly 10 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 72 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 64 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Sneak Thief ($14.99, scores 28) beats it on value, while it beats GRAV ($19.99, scores 2).

More about 171

53 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2023 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,422 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 65 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 5 of the 53 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 60 percent of the 1,454 reviews written there were positive, against 74 percent overall, and those are 36 percent of everything written about it.

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

Reviews set the ceiling. With no length in our data, value sits at a neutral middle whatever the price, and the BANG Score is docked until a real length is known.
