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.
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $10.99. That was August 2026. It has been discounted 18 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 42 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. 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 5 weeks.
It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 93 percent. The nearest things to it, Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground ($19.99, scores 4) and Teamfight Manager 2 ($19.99, scores 4), are both worse buys on this math.
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 73 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,864 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 20 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 18 of the 73 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 36 percent of the 447 reviews written there were positive, against 61 percent overall, and those are 20 percent of everything written about it.
No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).

Zoochosis scores 5/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). Length is not in our data, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/2458560/zoochosisThe 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 3, price as of Sep 23.
