Do you like hot dogs? How about horseshoes? Hand grenades? (everyone likes hand grenades) Anyway, we've got all that, and guns. SO MANY GUNS. So if you like ordnance, meat, and far too many groan-worthy puns, this is the VR sandbox game for you.
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
The lowest price on record is $19.99, set in April 2016. In 10 years of price history it has never once been discounted.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 73 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. The nearest things to it, BONEWORKS ($29.99, scores 64) and Ravenfield ($17.99, scores 66), are both worse buys on this math.
$52.12 is where it would stop being a BANGER. Today it is $19.99.
This site sampled 794 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 38 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 133 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 75 percent of the 1,294 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 35 hours; clearing it takes 71, which is 2.0 times the campaign.

What players say
the gambling never stops on take & hold I LOVE GETTING A KOLIBRI 3 TIMES IN A ROW
this is one of my favourite games ever made. as a British person, who cannot legally own a gun, this game lets me mess around with guns safely and legally, especially since it's so detailed and accurate. and H3VR2 looks like it's going to be even better, both gun, and gameplay wise, well worth the money :3 edit: the game also runs very well, even on absolute max graphics (at least on my PC)
i play this game on a steam deck and it is so fun laggy but fun you NEED to buy this if you LOVE DESTRUCTION or if you are a normal person is still amazing

Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades scores 97/100 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/450540/hot-dogs-horseshoes-hand-grenadesThe 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 6, price as of Sep 24.
