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 $14.99, set in September 2026. It has been discounted 22 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 55 percent off, with about 4 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 4 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 23 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 68 percent. Among the games that feel like it, REMNANT II® ($9.99, scores 65) beats it on value, while it beats Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Anniversary Edition ($39.99, scores 55).
4 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 7,546 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
9.4 hours to finish it, 63 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 6.7 times the campaign.
The rating rests on 223,693 reviews, so it is not going to move much from here.

What players say
Love the game, the only issue the stupid ass bots, they play like they are lobotomized servitors, either than that everything else is nice.
Game good. Me like. Me kill Tyranids. Me kill Heretics. I Fly. I Shoot. I Slice, smash and stab. Cool game!.
My first steam review in 12 years. This game sucks, poor optimisation, no replayability, do not buy this cash grab. I REAPEAT THIS GAME NOT WORTH THE BUY.
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.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 scores 61/100 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/2183900/warhammer-40-000-space-marine-2The 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 4, price as of Sep 23.
