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
The lowest price on record is $4.99, set in June 2017. It has been discounted 81 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 12 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 79 percent. Among the games closest to it, Zombie Panic! Source (free, scores 66) and Killing Floor 2 ($29.99, scores 66) both come in lower.
Critics scored it 65. Players sit 23 points higher at 88 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 8 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written September 2020 to September 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 552 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 72 percent of the 3,339 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (boost, cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.

What players say
Most fun I've had playing asymmetrical pvp. It's tragic the player base died off. I pray the creator of this game makes DEPTH 2. This game deserved so much better.
I genuinely hope that one day depth will make a comeback. This game is fire and I had awesome times playing it.
I like this game a lot, but cuz this game is kinda outdated, there's a couple things to keep in mind if you're new. The main thing to watch out for is the cutthroat player base. Because this community has a very small number of players nowadays, there's no matchmaking, so you'll often fight veterans w thousands of hours in the game. It's really annoying because the massive skill curve often drives newcomers away if...
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Depth scores 72/100 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/274940/depthThe 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 13, price as of Sep 24.
