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
Value puts it in the top 27 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 62 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Team Fortress 2 (free, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats Apex Legends™ (free, scores 19).
Critics scored it 63. Players sit 18 points higher at 81 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 173 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.
It is still busy. 40 players were in it at once at the last check, across 81 days of tracking. Free to start. It takes its money later, through cosmetic and time-limited.

Dirty Bomb® scores 58/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/333930/dirty-bombThe 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 10.
