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.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $1.99. That was January 2016. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 68 in the 14 years tracked, about 8 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 8 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 11 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 76 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, POSTAL 2 ($9.99, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats GUN™ ($19.99, scores 53).
Steam's global achievement data says about 9 percent of players ever finish it. On a 10.4-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Of the 367 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 67 percent of the 355 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 10.4 hours. Doing everything runs 25, 2.4 times as long.

What players say
This franchise's world is incredibly creative. The story and humor are great. Reminds me of my favorite movie Rango.
Works perfect on steam deck. Runs perfect on steam deck. One of the most memorable games from my early teens.
Any game that has the gall to tell a serious story based on real world issues, while also having a boss named "Jo Momma", is a game worthy of respect. Buy it now.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD scores 72/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/15750/oddworld-stranger-s-wrath-hdThe 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.
