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 $2.99. That was November 2023. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 89 in the 10 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $2.99 at 80 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
At full price it scores 69. The current cut is what makes it a 90.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Turbo Dismount™ ($9.99, scores 91) beats it on value, while it beats DeadCore ($9.99, scores 58).
On this data it would still be a BANGER at $6.07. It costs $2.99.
The press gave it 76; the people who bought it give it 94 percent. An 18-point gap in the buyer's favour.
Steam's global achievement data says about 19 percent of players ever finish it. On a 3.6-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 22 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2021 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 2,325 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 16 percent of everything written about it.
3.6 hours to finish it, 8 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.3 times the campaign.

I really like the game. However. If your setup doesn't want to feel how it is to be one of the hundred men against one gorilla, I'd reconsider.
Very very peak game. I started when I saw the off brand cluster rush then got inspired. Simple objective. Many ways to do it. Pretty hard to rage when it's a very fun game.
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.

Clustertruck scores 90/100 on the BANG Score (a BANGER). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/397950/clustertruckThe 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 13, price as of Sep 24.
