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. The score is docked for the missing length.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $9.99, set in June 2026. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 28 in the 4 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 2 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 26 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Resident Evil ($19.99, scores 66) beats it on value, while it beats Resident Evil 0 ($19.99, scores 49).
This site sampled 799 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 5 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 83 percent of the 4,577 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 2 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.
It came out 3 years ago and 3.7K were still playing it at the last check.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

Resident Evil 4 scores 58/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). Length is not in our data, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/2050650/resident-evil-4The 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 23.
