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

Raising the score
ValueFree
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reviews95% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Holding it back
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
For context
Length1.3 hours
How much game you get. Hours feed the value per dollar
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
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

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 99 percent of its genre. The nearest things to it, The Riftbreaker ($29.99, scores 75) and Survivalist ($4.99, scores 59), are both worse buys on this math.

Finishing takes 1.3 hours; clearing it takes 3, which is 2.5 times the campaign.
