What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.
Raising the score
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Holding it back
DRMThird-party DRM
Third-party copy protection, a small friction discount
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is
For context
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds11 of 434 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

BANG Score badge
RealFlight Evolution scores 47/100 on the BANG Score (a skip) as of Nov 8, 2026. 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/2069310/realflight-evolution
Embed the live badge

Reviews set the ceiling. With no length in our data, value sits at a neutral middle whatever the price, and the BANG Score is docked until a real length is known. How it works, and where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Nov 1, price as of Nov 8. A number here look wrong? Tell me and I will check the inputs.
