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.
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.
The value story
December 2014 is where it bottomed out, at $2.99. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 81 in the 14 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 5 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 85 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Space Hulk: Deathwing Enhanced Edition ($29.99, scores 26) and Aliens vs. Predator™ ($14.99, scores 70) both outscore it.
45 from critics against 62 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
11 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2022 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 36 percent of the 1,233 reviews written there were positive, against 62 percent overall, and those are 16 percent of everything written about it.

Aliens: Colonial Marines Collection scores 8/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). Length is not in our data, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/49540/aliens-colonial-marines-collectionThe 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 16, price as of Sep 24.
