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
On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 92 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, SCP: Secret Laboratory (free, scores 83) beats it on value, while it beats White Noise 2 ($9.99, scores 52).

What players say
A genuinely good free-to-play game, I had a lot of fun with my friends. The story is short but it's good, anyway GG
Game is dead, sure, but it's great if you have a bunch of friends to play with. Spaceman? Monster? Doesn't matter in the end, they all end up getting pressed into the trash compactor at least once. :D
Incredibly fun coop campaign sadly too dead to play the other game mode unless you have lost of friends to play T he gun play is superb and the comedic voice over is bill Love To Steve

Unfortunate Spacemen scores 65/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/408900/unfortunate-spacemenThe 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 17.
