What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Shooter game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
Raising the score
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
Holding it back
Cost per hour, est. length~$1.67/hr
Estimated: no length in our data yet
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones. Scored as 73% after the small-sample adjustment
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is
For context
Refunds8 of 445 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score
