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.
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Shooter game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $0.99. That was May 2016. 39 discounts in the 11 years on record. They run about 90 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.
It is less well reviewed than 90 percent of its genre. On the same math How to Survive 2 ($3.74, scores 27) and How to Survive ($3.74, scores 66) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
Steam's global achievement data puts about 4 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. Inside the two-hour refund window, 43 percent of the 542 reviews written there were positive, against 57 percent overall, and those are 48 percent of everything written about it.

How To Survive: Third Person Standalone scores 2/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). Length is estimated at 6 hours, not measured, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/360150/how-to-survive-third-person-standaloneThe 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 Jul 31, price as of Aug 29.
