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
The lowest price on record is $1.49, set in August 2024. It has been discounted 73 times in the 13 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. 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 7 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games closest to it, Party Hard ($9.99, scores 72) and The Escapists 2 ($4.99, scores 84) both come in lower.
The press gave it 83; the people who bought it give it 98 percent. A 15-point gap in the buyer's favour.
Steam's global achievement data puts 46 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. This site sampled 369 of its Steam-purchase reviews; none were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 88 percent of the 848 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 3 hours. Doing everything runs 7, 2.2 times as long.

What players say
Incredible game. The dialogues witty, the mechanics are up to snuff. I had fun with the story. only issue is after my first playthough it kept crashing at startup.
Solid puzzle game, plenty of room for creative solutions even if the battery mechanic discourages them somewhat.
A great game. Fun, pretty easy to understand. It's challenging, but forgiving. The thing is, it's only about two hours long. I'd say wait for a sale if youre gonna buy it.
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.

Gunpoint scores 86/100 on the BANG Score (a BANGER). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/206190/gunpointThe 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 16, price as of Sep 24.
