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.

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical RPG game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.49, set in May 2019. 30 discounts in the 13 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 30 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 61 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 70 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing ($14.99, scores 60) beats it on value, while it beats FORCED: Slightly Better Edition ($14.99, scores 36).

Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 156 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 16 percent of everything written about it.

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 Aug 2, price as of Sep 24.
