The value story

The value story

Across all 82 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 86 percent. Space Hulk: Deathwing Enhanced Edition ($29.99, scores 25) outscores it, and so does Aliens vs. Predator™ ($14.99, scores 70). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

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
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.

MonetizationNone
No in-game purchases. Paid DLC exists and is not docked
Holding it back
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is
For context
Refunds12 of 800 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

Reviews set the ceiling. With no length in our data, value sits at a neutral middle whatever the price, and the BANG Score is docked until a real length is known. How it works, and where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Oct 13, price as of Nov 7. A number here look wrong? Tell me and I will check the inputs.
