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.
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Shooter game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $0.74, set in May 2016. It has been discounted 52 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 65 percent off, with about 9 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 2 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 9 weeks.
It is cheaper than 87 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 76 percent. On the same math STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II ($5.99, scores 49) and STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy™ ($9.99, scores 91) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight - Mysteries of the Sith™ scores 17/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). Length is estimated at 6 hours, not measured, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/32390/star-wars-jedi-knight-mysteries-of-the-sithThe 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 4, price as of Sep 24.
