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
June 2020 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. It has been discounted 56 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 90 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today's $1.99 at 90 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
Take the discount away and it is a 52. With it, 69.
Value puts it in the top 14 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 73 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 69 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil ($3.99, scores 80) beats it on value, while it beats System Shock: Enhanced Edition ($1.99, scores 68).
72 from critics against 84 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 13 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2021 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 69 percent of the 1,163 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 21 percent of everything written about it.

I take damage on purpose so i can hear Duke growl in pain which makes my non existent pu$$y start leaking. The fat things in those space ships floating around and shooting rockets at you looks like Icy (my steam oomf) irl and those weird xenomorph looking things looks like Bamitzol, who loves to sweat in Tekken with his tryhard Bryan. This game is great if you love hot black yet white presenting men like Duke and...
not very good imo plus this source port is quite bad with lots of bad quirks and very poor performance given the age of this game. i guess there was a reason most talk of duke online is just impact font memes on twitter 4 years ago and not about the games themselves. tapped out after completing the first 3 episodes and the first of chapter 4. If you're like me and you got into this era of shooters via doom 1&2 on...

Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour scores 69/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/434050/duke-nukem-3d-20th-anniversary-world-tourThe 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, price as of Sep 24.
