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 $5.99. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 121 in the 12 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. 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 5 weeks.

On value it sits in the top 9 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 75 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Shadowrun: Hong Kong - Extended Edition ($19.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Torment: Tides of Numenera ($34.99, scores 27).

71 from critics against 81 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

Steam's global achievement data says about 6 percent of players ever finish it. On a 48.8-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Of the 235 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026.

The main story runs 48.8 hours. Doing everything runs 100, 2.1 times as long.

The 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 2, price as of Sep 24.
