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
September 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $0.47. Its cuts run 51 percent off as a rule. There have been 70 in the 12 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 15 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Plan (free, scores 82) beats it on value, while it beats Among Ripples (free, scores 23).
3 of the 619 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 82 percent of the 4,837 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 37 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 10.1 hours. Doing everything runs 256, 25 times as long.

What players say
I have had this running in the background for ages, And I guess thats the point. I just dont get this type of game.
if you are having issues with any game that runs on UE4 while also playing Mountain, guess what this game messes with it, Plus your 987 hour achievement might not be counting
Interactive screensaver. Has really cool ambient sounds that are great to sleep to. It also has random jump scares that demand you hammer the keyboard for a minute or be left with a bright white screen, so sometimes very bad to sleep to.
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.

Mountain scores 78/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/313340/mountainThe 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.
