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 2021 is where it bottomed out, at $3.99. It has been discounted 75 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 12 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks. The math puts its BANGER price at $9.21. The record reaches that level 52 times.
On value it sits in the top 12 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 79 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Return to Castle Wolfenstein ($4.99, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats Wolfenstein: The Old Blood ($19.99, scores 58).

What players say
This game is such an underrated gem, Perfect gameplay, amazing cutscenes, done so well, including a top-notch script. Memorable characters, the good and the evil. Awesome music aswell. Couldn't recoomend more.
OK when it comes to Wolfenstein. Level design is incredible. Voice acting is amazing. Cinematography. The sheer amount of buildings and assets they had to make for this game is insane. Weapons. All of them are interesting. All of them are great weapons. I know some people are mad because there are aspects of stealth. But to be perfectly honest. I don't care. The stealth aspects are great. It's nice when you know...

Wolfenstein: The New Order 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/201810/wolfenstein-the-new-orderThe 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 11, price as of Sep 24.
