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.
- Steam lists in-app purchases but we have no detail on them. Small caution applied.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $17.49. That was May 2026. 17 discounts in the 2 years on record. They run about 55 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $17.49 at 75 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
At full price it scores 20. The current cut is what makes it a 28.
It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 64 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. EVERSPACE™ 2 ($49.99, scores 58) and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart ($59.99, scores 51) both outscore it.
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 19 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2026 to August 2026. That is more 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, 112 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 24 percent of the 1,047 reviews written there were positive, against 72 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
18.4 hours to finish it, 67 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.6 times the campaign.

What players say
Amazing graphics and really fun game. I don't understand why it has mixed reviews tbh.
Much better than people claim, very atmospheric. Such a good star wars feel and detailed environments. Combat feels good too
Even with a massive discount, this game is not worth spending your time on. The game does not respect your time and tries very hard to artificially prolong the experience. The writers did a horrible job with the main character. The only consistently likable aspect of her character is her pet, which isn't even really about her. Yet the game seems to assume that players will automatically care about her. The strongest...
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.

Star Wars Outlaws scores 28/100 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/2842040/star-wars-outlawsThe 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 3, price as of Sep 23.
