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
The lowest price on record is $1.99, set in October 2019. 93 discounts in the 13 years on record. They run about 90 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 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 12 percent on value. It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 87 percent. Among the games that feel like it, L.A. Noire ($19.99, scores 68) beats it on value, while it beats Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered ($0.99, scores 48).
Critics scored it 59. Players sit 27 points higher at 86 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 852 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 6.9 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say
Obviously starting to feel a bit dated and it feels like a Console port as the controls make no sense what's so ever. Overall a great story, strong characters and atmosphere. Well worth a play.
You play as a ghost detective trying to solve your own murder. Existing in a spirit world layered over the living one, you can watch humans, possess them, read their thoughts, see evidence through their eyes, and influence what they think about. However, you can't speak to them, and most people have no idea you're there. Solving a murder alongside a police force that can't see or hear you gives the game a genuinely...
When this game gets super cheap, consider it. BUT If you buy this game, head to the guides and find the one that disables the demons STAT! Murdered: Soul Suspect: right of the gate does the worst offense of all - having a ♥♥♥ title. Other than that, it has some bad stealth/action parts, but disable that with the above steps (you're smart enough to do that) and hey, you're home free! This one doesn't outstay its...
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.

Murdered: Soul Suspect scores 55/100 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/233290/murdered-soul-suspectThe 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 Aug 2, price as of Sep 24.
