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 $2.49, set in December 2025. 73 discounts in the 8 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 2 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 6 percent on value. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Volcanoids ($19.99, scores 52) and Voidtrain ($29.99, scores 33).
Steam's global achievement data says under 1 percent of players ever finish it. On a 16.6-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Players rate it 85 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 77 percent. Something recent has soured the room. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 15 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 5,860 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 16.6 hours. Doing everything runs 53, 3.2 times as long.
Still 1.7K concurrent players, 7 years in.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

What players say
Anxiety - The Game! Green Hell throws every angst-inducing mechanic at you as soon as you've finished the "tutorial". There isn't simply hunger, you need carbs, fats, and proteins. Meanwhile you go insane, get yourself a pet leech, have a little food poisoning, and so on. All while having a self-charging walkie-talkie in case you want to talk to no one, but there's no torch. It's figuratively easier to just die and...
Feed-a-weakling-glass-man simulator. A game that aspires to be "realistic" and "challenging," but tries so hard that it ends up as a feeding Souls-like simulator that will bore you to hell. If I wanted to constantly tend to the needs of a wimpy, weak, malnourished virtual character, I would've bought a Tamagotchi instead.
This is a great game. Started the story mode, found it VERY punishing at first, with so many bad things that can happen to you, simulating a survival situation in the middle of the Amazon jungle. Despite being hard, you can learn a lot as you play - but not without a bit of help from external Wikis - well this was my case as I wanted to advance in the game and not just keep suffering. Once you learn the basic...

Green Hell scores 60/100 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/815370/green-hellThe 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 12, price as of Sep 24.
