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 $0.98, set in December 2017. 101 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 89 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 21 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 63 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Tomb Raider: Legend ($6.99, scores 73) beats it on value, while it beats Tomb Raider: Underworld ($8.99, scores 48).

What players say
Tomb Raider Anniversary is a PS2 era platformer/puzzle game (and a remake of a PS1 game) and can be surmised with the following: - amazing level design (the best part of this game) - really good puzzles that take advantage of the above - creepy ambient OST but combat music is lacking - occasional enemy ambushes to keep you on your toes - qte bossfights at the end of each level - very bad story, nonsensical motive...

Tomb Raider: Anniversary scores 63/100 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/8000/tomb-raider-anniversaryThe 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.
