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
Value puts it in the top 14 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 79 percent of its genre. The nearest things to it, Star Trek Online (free, scores 48) and Champions Online (free, scores 28), are both worse buys on this math.
The press gave it 69; the people who bought it give it 88 percent. A 19-point gap in the buyer's favour.
Steam's global achievement data puts 60 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 200 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 113.8 hours; clearing it takes 1643, which is 14 times the campaign.

Warframe scores 70/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/230410/warframeThe 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 10.
