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 2017 is where it bottomed out, at $2.49. 73 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 7 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 34 percent on value. Among the games that feel like it, DOOM Eternal ($29.99, scores 64) beats it on value, while it beats RAGE 2 ($39.99, scores 8).
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2021 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 43 percent of the 1,496 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
This game starts strong, but the more I played it, the more noticeable the issues became. The gunplay is rather solid, the visuals are well done, and there is a lot of weapons and gadgets that the player can experiment with. The main issue I have with the game is that it is far too easy, even on Ultra-Nightmare. The only exception to this are the time trials, which are incredibly strict on the hardest difficulty...
meh... RAGE isn't bad at all and it has it's moments, but I'm definitely going to forget everything about it in like a week or two. The guns are pretty cool.
This game, while I really have not played much of it at all, just doesn't seem like its all that good. First of all this PC port is terrible, frequent crashing, choppy performance when vsync is off and the texture detail setting makes the game cut out sound and crash even more. Secondly it seems like its just borderlands without the fun parts of borderlands, instead of looting weapons, you have a classic FPS set in...

RAGE scores 52/100 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/9200/rageThe 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 13, price as of Sep 24.
