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
It has never been cheaper than $1.49. That was April 2020. It has been discounted 119 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 80 percent off, with about 5 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 5 weeks.
It is pricier than 83 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Conan Exiles Enhanced ($39.99, scores 57) beats it on value, while it beats SURVIVAL: Postapocalypse Now ($14.99, scores 1).
11 of the 445 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to July 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 490 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 117 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 11 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 22 percent of the 747 reviews written there were positive, against 57 percent overall, and those are 31 percent of everything written about it.

Out of Reach scores 2/100 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/327090/out-of-reachThe 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.
