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 $14.99. That was September 2026. Its cuts run 67 percent off as a rule. There have been 72 in the 10 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 86 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Call of Duty®: Black Ops III ($59.99, scores 60) beats it on value, while it beats Battlefield™ 2042 ($5.99, scores 1).
73 on Metacritic, 61 percent from players. A gap this way round is usually launch damage or a slow decline.
Steam's global achievement data says about 2 percent of players ever finish it. On a 7.3-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Players rate it 61 percent positive over its lifetime, and the last 30 days run 90 percent. It is aging into a better game than its average suggests. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 26 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 52 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 20 percent of the 3,191 reviews written there were positive, against 61 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it. It carries the aggressive kind of in-app purchases, and the score already docks it for that. The sticker price is where the spending starts.
7.3 hours to finish it, 16 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.2 times the campaign.

What players say
Unique and beatifull game. A very underated call of duty game. Amazing well written Campaign. Unfortunaly the game got hit by a herd mentality back in the days. Which it clearly it didn't deserve. U can tell this game is made with passion and love. Always stay open minded and try out new things. I respect this game for triying to be diffrent. And it delivered Ethan my beloved <3
The COD with the best campaign, story, characters, and writing IMHO! I think this game got way too much hate when it first came out, and is actually a hidden/underrated gem! Give it a try :)
have been trying to play multiplayer and zombies but it keeps saying cannot connect to online services
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.

Call of Duty®: Infinite Warfare scores 7/100 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/292730/call-of-duty-infinite-warfareThe 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 1, price as of Sep 24.
