Holding it back
Reviews85% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
For context
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
