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. We scored it as a typical Action game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones

No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.49. That was April 2026. 66 discounts in the 12 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 98 percent. Space Engineers ($19.99, scores 79) outscores it, and so does Scrap Mechanic ($28.99, scores 79). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

6 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2021 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 40 percent of the 1,149 reviews written there were positive, against 52 percent overall, and those are 20 percent of everything written about it.
