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 $4.99. That was October 2023. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 63 in the 9 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 6 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 20 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 61 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing ($14.99, scores 60) beats it on value, while it beats The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III ($14.99, scores 13).
67 from critics against 76 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
Steam's global achievement data says about 8 percent of players ever finish it. On a 22.7-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 9 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 36 percent of the 1,423 reviews written there were positive, against 76 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 22.7 hours. Doing everything runs 116, 5.1 times as long.

What players say
Get it during deep discounts and only if you are a die-hard 40k fanatic. Keep in mind that it's quite old. Don't expect QoL on par with PoE2 or D4. Offline mode is a nice bonus once this game inevitably shuts down its services.
Good ARPG in Warhammer40K setting. Enemy factions are represented by Daemons of various kinds, Rebels, Chaos Space Marines, Aeldari, Drukhari, Tyranids. I really enjoy the idea of skillsets tied to certain weapon types (i.e. every weapon type comes with its own skillset). Ranged combat dominates melee somewhat (and it is safer). The game is certainly not an AAA experience and you can feel the budget was quite tight...
Achievements ruin video games. That is a hill I will die on top of, as unfortunately chasing after them has revealed the repetitive mediocrity of this title. Now don't get me wrong, I am not judging the game by what stupid achievements there are. But by going after them. I cam across the pros and cons of the game and so lets go over them. Pros: Price (game can receive a very nice discount but you need the dlc's if...
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr scores 48/100 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/527430/warhammer-40-000-inquisitor-martyrThe 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 14, price as of Sep 24.
