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
It is less well reviewed than 82 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Dirty Bomb® (free, scores 58) beats it on value, while it beats Line of Sight (free, scores 6).
Inside the two-hour refund window, 38 percent of the 343 reviews written there were positive, against 63 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.
6.5 hours to finish it, 22 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.4 times the campaign.
It is still busy. 22 players were in it at once at the last check, across 81 days of tracking. Free to start. It takes its money later, through unlock.
The drop-off

BRINK is a multiplayer focused first person shooter set in a futuristic floating city called the Ark. The city is falling apart, and I can play as either the Security forces or the Resistance while taking part in missions built around objectives rather than simply getting the most kills. The setting gives the game a distinctive identity, and I like that the story is told from two opposing sides rather than...
So much potential. So little follow through. The single player is mediocre and the multiplayer is just maps of the single player. Basically a dead game.
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.

BRINK scores 11/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/22350/brinkThe 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 15.
