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 has never been cheaper than $1.49. That was May 2024. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 89 in the 11 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 4 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 5 percent on value. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Killing Floor ($19.99, scores 94) beats it on value, while it beats Arizona Sunshine® VR Legacy ($14.99, scores 38).

The press gave it 75; the people who bought it give it 88 percent. A 13-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Players rate it 88 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 78 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 13 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2025 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 58 percent of the 4,645 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it. It carries the aggressive kind of in-app purchases, and the score already docks it for that. The sticker price is where the spending starts.

HowLongToBeat players log 16.2 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 130, 8.0 times as much.

It came out 10 years ago and 4.5K were still playing it at the last check.

What players say

Bought a game for just 7.39€ Euros. After a couple of years, still pretty good game k2 is incomparable to third version of a game. kf 3, is also good conception, but it's still sucks to kf2. Even kf2 closer to the original game and "lore" / story of the game. So i rather recommend kf1 and kf2 either than "kf3" kf3 in every aspect sucks to kf2. I guess the number "two / 2.) is cursed Left 4 dead 2 > CS2 > hl2 >...

Fantastic horde shooter, I just wish the game file wasn't so unnecessarily huge.

If you're a fan of Killing Floor 1, I don't recommend Killing Floor 2. I'll explain. They say that KF2 managed to be a proper sequel, preserving the first game gameplay and almost everything. Well, that's debatable. 1. KF1 was dark and reddish, KF2 is light and blueish. There isn't any grim feeling of horror in KF2. 2. The music. In KF1, it was outstanding. In KF2... is there music? I don't remember, if you know...

[![BANG Score](https://steambangers.com/api/badge/232090)](https://steambangers.com/game/232090/killing-floor-2)

The 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 12, price as of Sep 24.

A number here look wrong? Tell me what it got wrong and I will look at the inputs behind it.
