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
June 2015 is where it bottomed out, at $4.39. 72 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 14 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 36 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 81 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 72 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Aliens vs. Predator™ ($14.99, scores 70) beats it on value, while it beats Crysis ($29.99, scores 37).
4 of the 546 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 66 percent of the 700 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Crysis Warhead. Good ‣ Expands on Crysis 1 story, even tho it's more like a parallel story. ‣ Keeps the manual leaning from the first game. ‣ Keeps the same sandbox elements similar to Crysis 1. ‣ Having Psycho as the protagonist. Mixed ‣ More action/combat oriented. ‣ Very Short. (it's way less than 7h, it took me that long because it kept crashing) Bad ‣ Crashes a lot. ‣ Has some game breaking bugs. ‣ Very...
last time played this game during the good ol' disk. such fun. now? a new difficulty level - TRY PLAYING WITHOUT CRASH. turning off AA, adjusting shader, compability version, using the 64bit version of the game...all with the same result. only praying that this series will get it own remake. HOW I WISH.
It's an okay game not the greatest but not the worst too i would still say give it a try

Crysis Warhead® scores 50/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/17330/crysis-warheadThe 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 Aug 3, price as of Sep 24.
