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. We scored it as a typical Shooter game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $2.49, set in February 2014. 82 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 70 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $2.99 at 70 percent off still sits 20 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 12 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 87 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Arma 3 ($29.99, scores 83) beats it on value, while it beats Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 ($4.99, scores 63).
Critics scored it 80. Players sit 12 points higher at 92 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
6 of the 387 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 344 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 21 percent of everything written about it.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® scores 72/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). Length is estimated at 6 hours, not measured, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/15300/tom-clancy-s-ghost-reconThe 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 Sep 3, price as of Sep 24.
