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.
- 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 $4.24. That was November 2024. It has been discounted 45 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 40 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 67 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 76 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Bleed ($4.99, scores 72) beats it on value, while it beats Mercenary Kings: Reloaded Edition ($19.99, scores 26).
Critics scored it 79. Players sit 8 points higher at 87 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Steam's global achievement data puts about 16 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. Of the 418 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 77 percent of the 406 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 31 percent of everything written about it.

Blazing Chrome scores 47/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). Length is estimated at 6 hours, not measured, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/609110/blazing-chromeThe 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.
