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
Against its own genre it lands in the top 12 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 79 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Stick Fight: The Game ($4.99, scores 86) beats it on value, while it beats Rivals of Aether II ($14.99, scores 45).
Players rate it 80 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 56 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Inside the two-hour refund window, 79 percent of the 394 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

this ♥♥♥ game is the worst game i have ever played in my life the game lets broken sigs into the game that can travel the entire map in half second then give the same guy a sig that flashes instantly and does 300 billion dmg and ends up killing me with 8 defense this game cause my hair to fall out in bulk and allows the devil himself to be able to play this game by pressing one button if i wanted to have fun i would...
Blue Mammoth doesn't take care of their game, if you play only a few matches you will see how unbalanced they leave it with no intention of buffing or nerfing the right things. They focus their attention on skins and crossovers and adding unnecessary things such as pets while increasing the prices. They censor chat for no reason other than they want you not to be toxic in after game chat which people will circumvent...
Brawlhalla is not a game anymore. It is a punishment disguised as entertainment. Every match begins with a whisper of hope, only to end in the screaming choir of frustration. The controls feel possessed, the matchmaking feels cursed, and every opponent moves as if they have signed a contract with the devil himself. You do not play Brawlhalla. You enter its realm. A realm where attacks vanish into the void, where...

Brawlhalla 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/291550/brawlhallaThe 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 10.
