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 $4.99. That was November 2024. It has been discounted 41 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
It is pricier than 83 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Valheim ($29.99, scores 92) beats it on value, while it beats Niffelheim ($19.99, scores 20).
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 11 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 35 percent of the 1,792 reviews written there were positive, against 76 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
The gameplay itself is okay, the fact that you must be online to play it is terrible, also there is like milion micro transaction what is not fun in game that you must buy.
I have never actually played this game. All of the hours logged are from tech support telling me to do various tasks to try and get the game to run. They once told me to let the game try and load for 9 hour I think so that I couldn't return it because the loading time was showing up as "hours on record". Steam would also not return the game despite me telling them that it was tech support's fault that I had that...
1,000-Hour Valheim Veteran's Vacation Simulator: At 6 hours of game play, my profile is only Valhalla Level 5, and I have already completely broken the local ecosystem. If you're coming from Valheim, your muscle memory makes this game an absolute power fantasy. The game tries to tell a serious story about a desperate Viking apocalypse, but the open-world sandbox mechanics are wonderfully exploitable: The Real...

Tribes of Midgard scores 45/100 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/858820/tribes-of-midgardThe 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.
