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
The lowest price on record is $0.99, set in December 2024. Its cuts run 66 percent off as a rule. There have been 39 in the 6 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 10 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Ben and Ed - Blood Party ($14.99, scores 65) beats it on value, while it beats Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator ($14.99, scores 38).
72 from critics against 87 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
Steam's global achievement data says about 3 percent of players ever finish it. On a 6-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Of the 478 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 10 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2021 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 78 percent of the 381 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Stubbs the Zombie: Rebel Without a Pulse is a wonderfully weird little game that deserves more attention. Running around eating brains, converting innocent townsfolk into your own undead army, and causing absolute chaos never really gets old. The humor is charmingly absurd, and the premise alone is enough to set it apart from the sea of generic zombie games where you're always the survivor. Unfortunately, there were...
I was so right thinking this game was good as a kid, and you know, I'm still right! Just less so. It's a pretty solid $2 purchase on sale, can't complain at all
To be honest Stubbs the Zombie is a game that has only recently came back to memory after I heard the song "My Boyfriend's Back" while at work. While I didn't remember much of the game from the little bit I saw from a friend playing growing up, the dancing minigame came out like a core memory. It has been very fun to play it, and its mostly very simple in most of its gameplay. There are moments however where it can...

Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse scores 54/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/7800/stubbs-the-zombie-in-rebel-without-a-pulseThe 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 3, price as of Sep 24.
