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.

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Shooter game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.49. That was May 2016. It has been discounted 66 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 65 percent off, with about 9 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 2 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 9 weeks.

Value puts it in the top 23 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 86 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy™ ($9.99, scores 91) beats it on value, while it beats STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II ($5.99, scores 49).

Of the 462 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 77 percent of the 588 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.

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 Aug 1, price as of Sep 24.
