Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reach3.5M+ owners
How many own it, by SteamSpy's estimate (an old snapshot). A free game has no price to weigh, so this is its value read
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
Holding it back
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
AI contentDisclosed
The developer disclosed AI-generated content on Steam, so the score takes a heavy dock
Early accessUnfinished
Still in development, a small confidence discount until 1.0

RefundsFree
A free game cannot be refunded, so the label never applies
