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

July 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. It has been discounted 97 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was this month, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.

On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 73 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine ($14.99, scores 83) beats it on value, while it beats Police Stories ($19.99, scores 51).

The press gave it 64; the people who bought it give it 90 percent. A 26-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Steam's global achievement data puts 26 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. Players rate it 90 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 82 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 664 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 73 percent of the 986 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

6.2 hours to finish it, 14 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.3 times the campaign.

What players say

This game has been a mainstay in my library for years and I find myself playing it whenever I don't feel like playing anything else. Honestly a fun game that you can play a multitude of different ways. Between the different characters available and any self-imposed challenges, you might find yourself replaying the levels more than you might think. The story is little more than a nothing burger means to push the next...

Nota Geral | Overall Rating ⭐⭐⭐ Party Hard é um conceito genial mal aproveitado: você é um serial killer tentando eliminar festas barulhentas sem ser pego, usando stealth, planejamento e criatividade em cada nível. A ideia por trás do jogo é hilária e inteligente, misturando humor negro com mecânicas de stealth genuinamente desafiadoras, mas a execução acaba ficando presa numa repetitividade que impede o jogo de...

The 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 16, price as of Sep 24.

A number here look wrong? Tell me what it got wrong and I will look at the inputs behind it.
