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 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $4.99. It has been discounted 57 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. 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 94 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 79 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition ($19.99, scores 52) beats it on value, while it beats Capcom Arcade Stadium (free, scores 1).
The press liked it more than its buyers did, 89 against 68 percent.
Steam's global achievement data says under 1 percent of players ever finish it. On a 3.4-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 21 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2023 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, 641 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 41 percent of the 2,494 reviews written there were positive, against 68 percent overall, and those are 9 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.
The main story runs 3.4 hours. Doing everything runs 137, 40 times as long.

Street Fighter V scores 14/100 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/310950/street-fighter-vThe 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 22.
