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

Value puts it in the top 6 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 87 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Minion Masters (free, scores 67) beats it on value, while it beats Card Hunter (free, scores 62).

The main story runs 55 hours. Doing everything runs 353, 6.4 times as long.

6 years after release it still had 619 people in it at once.

It is still busy. 619 players were in it at once at the last check, across 81 days of tracking. Free to start. It takes its money later, through cosmetic.

[![BANG Score](https://steambangers.com/api/badge/1284410)](https://steambangers.com/game/1284410/gwent-the-witcher-card-game)

The 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 15.

A number here look wrong? Tell me what it got wrong and I will look at the inputs behind it.
