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 $0.14. That was September 2015. 87 discounts in the 12 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 6 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 9 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 76 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Enigmatis 2: The Mists of Ravenwood ($14.99, scores 62) beats it on value, while it beats Alchemy Mysteries: Prague Legends ($1.99, scores 44).
Of the 232 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 74 percent of the 291 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
The game was fun to play as it is hasteless and relaxing. The graphics of backgrounds and objects is photorealistic while in cutscenes it is decent for its price. Overall graphics is very pretty and candy-like. The gameplay has three core aspects: screens where to find and to use an item, screens with puzzles and screens where you need to search for several objects by name. The most challenge you get from puzzle...
A fun little hidden object game. the only thing annoying is that sometimes, the items you have to click on are behind the hint button which makes them hard to click on, aside from that, an overall fun game for the price.
Frankenstein: Master of Death turned out to be a very mediocre game. It is made according to the canons of HOG, but absolutely talentless and carelessly.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Frankenstein: Master of Death scores 60/100 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/347430/frankenstein-master-of-deathThe 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 22, price as of Sep 24.
