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. The score is docked for the missing length.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $32.49, set in September 2026. It has been discounted 4 times in the 11 months tracked here, typically at 25 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. 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 6 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 19 percent on value. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. The nearest things to it, NINJA GAIDEN Σ [NINJA GAIDEN: Master Collection] ($39.99, scores 39) and NINJA GAIDEN Σ2 [NINJA GAIDEN: Master Collection] ($39.99, scores 34), are both worse buys on this math.
Of the 628 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 10 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2026 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 67 percent of the 297 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.

FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE scores 46/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). Length is not in our data, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/3920610/fatal-frame-ii-crimson-butterfly-remakeThe 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 Aug 2, price as of Sep 22.
