The value story

The value story

It has been discounted 4 times in the 3 months tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 20 percent, about 4 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 2 days ago.

Its score puts it in the top 15 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 90 percent of its genre. s.p.l.i.t ($2.99, scores 76) outscores it, and so does Buckshot Roulette ($2.99, scores 89). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

More about Machine Party

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 81 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2026 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 798 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 19 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 6 of the 81 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. In its first 30 days on sale, 46 of 334 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 82 percent of the 2,864 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 60 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 0.9 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 7, 8.0 times as much.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 0.9 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • Player count is unknown. We assumed a small player base, about 500 owners.
Raising the score
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
Holding it back
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones. Scored as 86% after the small-sample adjustment
Refunds81 of 800 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
For context
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

BANG Score badge
Machine Party scores 54/100 on the BANG Score (fair value) as of Nov 8, 2026. Player count is unknown, so the score assumes a small player base; Steam shows 6,049 reviews, so it has at least that many owners. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/4108000/machine-party
Embed the live badge

Reviews set the ceiling, and the size of the player base moves the BANG Score inside it. How it works, and where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Nov 6, price as of Nov 7. A number here look wrong? Tell me and I will check the inputs.
