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 Action game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $14.39. That was June 2026. 11 discounts in the 16 months on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $17.49 at 50 percent off still sits 22 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Batman™: Arkham Origins Blackgate - Deluxe Edition ($19.99, scores 2) beats it on value, while it beats Depths Of Horror: Mushroom Day ($4.99, scores 0).
Players rate it 47 percent positive over its lifetime, and the last 30 days run 63 percent. It is aging into a better game than its average suggests. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 51 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2025 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,221 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 52 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 15 of the 51 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 22 percent of the 912 reviews written there were positive, against 47 percent overall, and those are 32 percent of everything written about it.
No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).

MindsEye scores 1/100 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/3265250/mindseyeThe 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 22.
