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.
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.
- Steam lists in-app purchases but we have no detail on them. Small caution applied.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $5.99. That was December 2023. 37 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $17.99 at 70 percent off still sits 200 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 63 percent. Among the games that feel like it, DiRT Rally 2.0 ($13.99, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats DIRT 5 ($59.99, scores 0).
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 25 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2023 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,221 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 828 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 54 percent of the 346 reviews written there were positive, against 75 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.
No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).

GRID Legends scores 25/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). Length is not in our data, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1307710/grid-legendsThe 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 Aug 2, price as of Sep 24.
