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
February 2019 is where it bottomed out, at $0.99. 106 discounts in the 11 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 4 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 26 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 67 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Colt Canyon ($14.99, scores 70) beats it on value, while it beats Police Stories ($19.99, scores 51).
Critics scored it 74. Players sit 10 points higher at 84 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Steam's global achievement data says about 14 percent of players ever finish it. On a 4.5-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. This site sampled 674 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 876 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 20 percent of everything written about it.

12 is Better Than 6 scores 58/100 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/410110/12-is-better-than-6The 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.
