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
December 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $11.69. It has been discounted 14 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 9 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 2 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 9 weeks.
It is pricier than 76 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 74 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Gunfire Reborn ($19.99, scores 84) beats it on value, while it beats Blightbound ($19.99, scores 13).
Of the 702 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 6 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 188 reviews written there were positive, against 72 percent overall, and those are 13 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Didn't get hooked by the game at first for various reasons but there is a hidden gem here imo. The game leans heavily into the story and character dialogue is often in front, though skip-able never goes away. . Starting out the game feels too easy and very few enemy types with little agency on upgrades because they did not really mean anything when basic attacks are enough. However, the difficulty ramps up and...

Meta Ghost: Breaking Show scores 30/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/2507980/meta-ghost-breaking-showThe 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 6, price as of Sep 23.
