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 $5.99. That was October 2018. 101 discounts in the 11 years on record. They run about 70 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 2 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Salt ($14.99, scores 33) and Space Pirates And Zombies 2 ($19.99, scores 51) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say
This game had a lot of potential, and I like the fact that it attempts to take a look at the darker side of piracy in the Caribbean. There's no fantasy theme like with Skull & Bones, and there's no lighthearted tone like any sort of Pirates of the Caribbean game or Sid Meier's Pirates. That being said, this game isn't perfect at all. The voice acting is kind of dry and both the land combat and ship combat leave much...
The game is jank and has it's charm sure, but when it keeps crashing when you want to progress with the story, that is a big problem.
Please note: this game has bugs and serious crash issues. I nearly couldn't finish it. When I reached Chapter 3, everything was fine until I arrived at Saint George - after that, the game started crashing every 10-30 seconds. It took quite a bit of tweaking on my side, but I eventually managed to fix it. I'm mentioning this purely as a warning to anyone interested: the broken state of this game can genuinely drive...

Vendetta - Curse of Raven's Cry scores 0/100 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/386280/vendetta-curse-of-raven-s-cryThe 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 23, price as of Sep 24.
