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
August 2013 is where it bottomed out, at $1.24. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 74 in the 14 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 7 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 98 percent of its genre. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Quake II ($9.99, scores 83) and Quake ($9.99, scores 82).
The math says it holds its tier up to $17.55, and you are being asked for $9.99.
Steam's global achievement data says about 5 percent of players ever finish it. On a 12-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. 19 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2022 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 93 percent of the 6,497 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 26 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 12 hours; clearing it takes 42, which is 3.5 times the campaign.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 12 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say
While replaying DOOM and completing the game with 100% achievements, the thing that impressed me the most once again was the music. Bobby Prince's classic soundtracks are still incredibly good even after all these years. I also liked the remixes added to the new version, but most of the time I still found myself going back to the original music. There is something special about the atmosphere created by those old...

DOOM + DOOM II scores 96/100 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/2280/doom-doom-iiThe 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 13, price as of Sep 24.
