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

Holding it back
Reviews77% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach350K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
Refunds34 of 800 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
For context
Value$3.41/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

It has been discounted 29 times in the 3 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 35 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

On value it sits in the top 23 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 73 percent. On the same math Bloody Trapland 2: Curiosity ($9.99, scores 55) and PICO PARK ($4.99, scores 78) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

More about Bread & Fred

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 34 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2024 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 795 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 92 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 34 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 62 percent of the 1,514 reviews written there were positive, against 77 percent overall, and those are 36 percent of everything written about it.

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