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 $0.99. That was August 2026. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 61 in the 11 years tracked, about 9 weeks apart. Today's $1.99 at 80 percent off still sits 101 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
It is pricier than 73 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Drive Beyond Horizons ($24.99, scores 46) beats it on value, while it beats On The Road - The Truck Simulator ($11.99, scores 0).
Inside the two-hour refund window, 15 percent of the 202 reviews written there were positive, against 30 percent overall, and those are 41 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 17.8 hours; clearing it takes 44, which is 2.4 times the campaign.

Autobahn Police Simulator scores 2/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/348510/autobahn-police-simulatorThe 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.
