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 $1.99. That was November 2021. 90 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
It is pricier than 78 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Darksiders Genesis ($29.99, scores 50) beats it on value, while it beats Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem ($3.99, scores 2).
The press liked it more than its buyers did, 72 against 57 percent.
Steam's global achievement data says about 1 percent of players ever finish it. On a 14.8-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. 1 of the 666 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 26 percent of the 542 reviews written there were positive, against 57 percent overall, and those are 27 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Even though the game has become more *Diablo*-like, that hasn't made it any worse.
Not as bad as everyone says. It's different in terms of gameplay and the story isn't the best but I generally enjoyed most it. Co-op is fun, visuals are nice and OST is good
Just play DS1 and never touch 2, 2.5 or 3. Just DO NOT. But watch the 1st movie it's great.
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.

Dungeon Siege III scores 4/100 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/39160/dungeon-siege-iiiThe 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 4, price as of Sep 24.
