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 players say

This game.. It's a hard one for me to recommend to be completely honest.. It's probably thee only populated sim-cade WW2 game right now and it sucks that it has so many issues which don't really seem like they will ever be addressed. My main issue with this game is how EASY it is to shoot in this game every gun's iron sights, range, accuracy, damage is SUPER good and every single gun even submachine guns are literal...

Yes Hell Let Loose is worth it and this is definitely in the first series and its the grandfather of the other game. I recommend it good and realistic world war 2 game.

[![BANG Score](https://steambangers.com/api/badge/686810)](https://steambangers.com/game/686810/hell-let-loose)

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 Sep 12, price as of Sep 24.

A number here look wrong? Tell me what it got wrong and I will look at the inputs behind it.
