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 $4.99, set in December 2022. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 87 in the 9 years tracked, about 5 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 5 weeks. Past sales have already crossed the $7.55 BANGER line 53 times.

Value puts it in the top 5 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Tacoma ($2.99, scores 73) beats it on value, while it beats The Vanishing of Ethan Carter ($19.99, scores 52).

Steam's global achievement data puts 59 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 17 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 91 percent of the 8,524 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

At 2.1 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

This is a unique game. It is just a 2-3 hour story. However, the way it is presented, the creative resources, the music, the pace, the use of the scenery. Top notch. Totally recommended.

[![BANG Score](https://steambangers.com/api/badge/501300)](https://steambangers.com/game/501300/what-remains-of-edith-finch)

The 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.
