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
November 2017 is where it bottomed out, at $0.97. 99 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 86 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 4 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 11 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 65 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 77 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Tomb Raider Game of the Year ($19.99, scores 79) beats it on value, while it beats Tomb Raider: Anniversary ($8.99, scores 63).
4 of the 731 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026.

What players say
Nota Geral | Overall Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tomb Raider: Legend é o reboot que a série precisava depois dos jogos mais fracos que vieram após os clássicos originais. A Crystal Dynamics modernizou Lara Croft sem perder a essência de exploração e puzzles ambientais que definiu a franquia, adicionando um sistema de movimentação mais fluido e acrobático que se encaixa perfeitamente na proposta de aventureira arqueológica. Não é um...
I played this game on the PSP back when it first came out, and I remember really liking it. Replaying it now, I find some things, like the combat, way too simplified, but overall the game is still great, and I'm honestly surprised by how many aspects of it I still remember. The puzzles are interesting, and you really have to think about how to reach the places you need to get to. There are no yellow or white...
The game is short but sweet, the storyline is decent. The platforming is nice and aged really well but the worst part of this game is definitely the boss fights, they didn't age well but still a fun game to play now

Tomb Raider: Legend scores 73/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/7000/tomb-raider-legendThe 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.
