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
May 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $0.99. 108 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. 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 6 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 18 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 76 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger ($14.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats Call of Juarez ($9.99, scores 54).
Critics scored it 78. Players sit 9 points higher at 87 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

What players say
wow, just wow this game has probs one of the best storys and sound tracks over like any western game hell i would rather play this story over red dead 2, actually worth a real review besides a joke review and the ending... was so ♥♥♥ good.
First off let me start by saying that if you don't like piss filter constantly yellow enviroment games this game is not for you. Every level looks the same, yellow deserts and yellow hilltops with yellow mines and yellow ghost towns and so on. Secondly because everything is a yellow blur and the enemies wear matted clothes it is hard spotting them, especially when they start shooting you from behind the ferns or 90%...
I really had fun playing this game. Thank you, Thechland, for making such an amazing game and it qulity of life upgrade over its first game and storyline, and how it got connected to the first game made me appreciate all the details u guys put into it. Overall, it's an amazing game and amazing story difinatly recomend to try it

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood scores 65/100 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/21980/call-of-juarez-bound-in-bloodThe 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 3, price as of Sep 24.
