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 $0.49, set in November 2018. 50 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 14 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 12 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 14 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 8 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 60 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 88 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Half-Life ($9.99, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats Half-Life Deathmatch: Source ($9.99, scores 37).
Of the 699 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 490 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 205 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 3,608 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 79 percent of everything written about it.

Ricochet scores 60/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/60/ricochetThe 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 3, price as of Sep 24.
