What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.
Raising the score
Reviews91% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Holding it back
Refunds20 of 444 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is

The value story

The lowest price on record is $4.99, set in November 2015. It has been discounted 48 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales.

On value it sits in the top 20 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition ($19.99, scores 81) and Mafia: Definitive Edition ($39.99, scores 54) both outscore it.

The press gave it 73; the people who bought it give it 91 percent. An 18-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Of the 444 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 20 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 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 1,656 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 25 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 20 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 650 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 34 percent of everything written about it.
