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.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $15.99. That was September 2025. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 3 in the 4 years tracked, about 27 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 27 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 41 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 78 percent. Among the games that feel like it, HARD BULLET ($19.99, scores 34) beats it on value, while it beats Hidden Deep ($24.99, scores 26).
This site sampled 532 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 19 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written January 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 3,221 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 464 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 366 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 29 percent of everything written about it.
No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).

Fraymakers scores 33/100 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/1420350/fraymakersThe 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 23.
