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
It has never been cheaper than $0.98. That was December 2017. 100 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.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 39 percent on value. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Tomb Raider: Anniversary ($8.99, scores 63) and Tomb Raider: Legend ($6.99, scores 73) both outscore it.
6 of the 599 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 58 percent of the 1,512 reviews written there were positive, against 77 percent overall, and those are 25 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
give us the beneath the ashes and lara's shadow DLCs NOW !!! Tomb Raider: Underworld is a game with so much potential. I really enjoyed the graphics, characters and the voice acting. There's new exploration mechanics and abilities (like the chimney jump) which make the gameplay feel more diverse in its "tomb raiding". Thailand looks stunning and is probably one of the best levels in the game. Maybe if Underworld had...
It was really awesome and nostalgia. I played it on PS3 as a young man (yeah I'm old fart as of now haha!) funnily, I forgot how to solve some puzzles. Use Thor's hammer is a lot of fun-- wish it has new game plus and let me use this hammer at beginning of game. anyway, I really look forward to play next Tomb Raider next year! Long Lara Live!

Tomb Raider: Underworld scores 48/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/8140/tomb-raider-underworldThe 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.
