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
June 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $23.99. 11 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 55 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 43 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 94 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen ($29.99, scores 76) and FINAL FANTASY XIV Online ($19.99, scores 64).
Steam's global achievement data puts 50 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. Players rate it 90 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 82 percent. Something recent has soured the room. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 9 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written February 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 68 percent of the 2,295 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (boost, cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.

What players say
This game is what Final Fantasy wants to be but it cant because Square Enix doesnt know how to make a Monster Hunter Game.
Pretty good game and with someone else to compete/ play with is always a great time. played alongside my brother and this random guy we met online called Bolt ( the goat ) was definitely the best part. This game has a very good combat a variation of quests that most similar titles don't have, making it never stale or boring to play. (ex:. missions with waves of enemies, different mechanics or even transformations )...
A very good introduction to a broad array of jrpg arche and stereotypes, but not necessarily better than any of the influences it borrows from. Might be an exceptional purchase for anyone new to the genre.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink scores 79/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/881020/granblue-fantasy-relinkThe 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.
