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 $3.19. That was October 2023. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 36 in the 9 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 18 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 17 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 62 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 85 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Nova Drift ($17.99, scores 84) beats it on value, while it beats Overture ($4.99, scores 40).
The press gave it 82; the people who bought it give it 93 percent. An 11-point gap in the buyer's favour.
2 of the 365 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 68 percent of the 106 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

Octogeddon scores 75/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/525620/octogeddonThe 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 2, price as of Sep 24.
