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
June 2016 is where it bottomed out, at $5.24. It has been discounted 74 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 7 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 7 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 13 percent on value. It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 88 percent. On the same math Fable - The Lost Chapters ($9.99, scores 67) and Gothic 1 ($19.99, scores 57) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 30 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2023 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 49 percent of the 1,496 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 13.2 hours. Doing everything runs 32, 2.4 times as long.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 13.2 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say
This game was the reason I bought the original Xbox. I'd get drunk at house parties and just play Fable. Even though I no longer drink, game still good.
Ocarina Of Time, but you're actually an orphan in the World of Warcraft universe and everyone is British. This might be one of the most underrated games of all time, please play it and please help me manifest Fable II and Fable III.
Growing up, I played this game, the non anniversary, and it most certainly did not disappoint buying a hard copy of this legendary encapsulating story! The character development is outta this world, the choices you can make (to become good or evil) is unbelievable esp given games struggle to input this into modern gaming to this day properly, this game did it perfectly!! I replayed this version of the game, I'll...

Fable Anniversary scores 55/100 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/288470/fable-anniversaryThe 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.
