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

What we assumed
  • Steam lists in-app purchases but we have no detail on them. Small caution applied.
Holding it back
Reviews88% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones Scored as 87% after the small-sample adjustment
Reach150K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
MonetizationIn-app purchases
Steam lists in-app purchases and nothing more is known, so a small haircut
Early accessUnfinished
Still in development, a small confidence discount until 1.0

Refunds7 of 422 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

About the game

Project Sparrow is an arena shooter focused on bow and arrow combat, fast-paced movement, and outmanoeuvring your opponent. Fight alongside your teammates in 2v2 and 3v3 or challenge them to a duel. Step into the arena and awaken the archer within.

The value story

Across all 10 discounts in the 5 years tracked, the median cut is 35 percent, about 11 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 35 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 11 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 91 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Warfork (free, scores 70) beats it on value, while it beats Due Process ($9.99, scores 54).

More about Project Sparrow

7 of the 422 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2022 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 795 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 264 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 77 percent of the 145 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

No data upstream: length (HowLongToBeat), critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
