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
It has never been cheaper than $2.49. That was June 2024. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 58 in the 14 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today's $2.49 at 75 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
It is pricier than 61 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Mordheim: City of the Damned ($1.39, scores 30) and Chaos Reborn ($9.99, scores 32) both outscore it.
77 on Metacritic, 48 percent from players. A gap this way round is usually launch damage or a slow decline.

What players say
This game is broken. Won't load in a windows environment. Game freezes at random times in linux environment. You'd have a better time spending the money this game costs to buy food for your local birds.
Don't buy this game. It's too much work getting it installed with the UBISOFT launcher and acccount crap. If it was free I'd still not play it again
Heroes 6 always suffered from its online component- and it now leaves it as a sort of buggy mess. That being said, after discovering that the autosave was hidden in offline saves, I decided that it just earned itself an up. Down/Negative Several things that required the account seem to be broken from how it was intended. "Dynasty weapons" now all seem to be unlocked and fully leveled, you may need to play an initial...

Might & Magic: Heroes VI scores 2/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/48220/might-magic-heroes-viThe 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 Aug 1, price as of Sep 24.
