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
The lowest price on record is $0.59, set in November 2021. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 107 in the 11 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 4 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 17 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 69 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 69 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Lucius ($9.99, scores 52) and Outlast 2 ($19.99, scores 64).
Steam's global achievement data says about 14 percent of players ever finish it. On a 3.6-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Of the 499 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 14 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2026 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 111 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 7,306 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 29 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 3.6 hours. Doing everything runs 25, 6.9 times as long.

What players say
Cute cozy game. I enjoy this game, but I can't recommend using the Hatred 1.666 mod enough. First person + color makes the experience so much better. [6.5/10]
After nearly 900 hours of disciplined examination, I believe I have finally approached a level of familiarity that permits meaningful commentary. Anything less would have been premature. Hatred is not merely a video game. It is pure art. To describe it as a masterpiece is not hyperbole but taxonomy. Its design exhibits an energetic commitment to aesthetic and mechanical cohesion that is almost nonexistent in the...
This is just postal, but worse in every concievable way. Like. The story is so bland and edgy that I can not take it seriosly at all. The main character is constantly saying some of the corniest ♥♥♥♥ imaginable. And the gameplay is even worse. It feels so ♥♥♥ slugish and clanky, that it's impossible to enjoy. And also for some ♥♥♥ reason you jump over things by running into them. ♥♥♥ WHY?! WHY NOT JUST USE A SPACE...

Hatred scores 67/100 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/341940/hatredThe 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 1, price as of Sep 24.
