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
April 2020 is where it bottomed out, at $0.49. It has been discounted 94 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was this month, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 6 percent on value. It is cheaper than 75 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 85 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Escape Simulator ($9.99, scores 82) beats it on value, while it beats VLADiK BRUTAL ($11.99, scores 70).
83 from critics against 91 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
Inside the two-hour refund window, 87 percent of the 139 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 29 percent of everything written about it.

Divide By Sheep scores 81/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/252130/divide-by-sheepThe 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 Sep 12, price as of Sep 24.
