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
It has never been cheaper than $4.99. That was May 2026. It has been discounted 88 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 55 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 4 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 13 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 90 percent. On the same math Rubber Bandits ($2.49, scores 62) and Tricky Towers ($5.99, scores 81) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
53 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2026 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,221 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 506 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 53 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 60 percent of the 10,284 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 19 percent of everything written about it.
2.4 hours to finish it, 7 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.1 times the campaign.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 2.4 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

yo this game is peak bro if your looking for a game that is super funny and fun get this game. honestly its so fun beating my brothers in local mode. but the only problom I truly have is that it doesnt have that many features like new modes or like showing all the controlls as the game makes you find out the controlls and finding out how to back filp and do HEADBUT DIVE that me and my brother mad up when playing is...
Even though its the same 22 maps, the ragdoll physics and map randomness makes it feel different every time. That, and the high skill ceiling is why I have so many hours on it. Unfortunately the game is kind of dead, it almost never gets updates and there aren't many players which leads to long matchmaking and high ping. But if you have a private game with friends you don't have any of these problems and it is an...

Gang Beasts scores 51/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/285900/gang-beastsThe 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.
