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.

What players say
It's surprisingly fun and deserves to be remembered even after all these years! PROS: + INCREDIBLE mobility and feeling of momentum thanks to the hook and rocket jumps + Picking up massive objects and throwing them feels satisfying when taking out enemies + Graphics good enough to not make you realize this was 2011 + Unique weaponry, each with two firing modes + Does an impressive job with story considering the lack...
Its a Sci-Fi Metroid-esque, nice side scroller with a survival twist. The Soundtrack is just well, its what got me into this game. Beat it once on a windows low end pc (win 8/10) and going for it again on a steamdeck. Keeping it at native 1280x720 is fine with minimal clipping. Sound works fine. Its playable and thats what counts. Its a comfy game to me. Once you've completed stages with enough stars your able to...

Capsized scores 39/100 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/95300/capsizedThe 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 6, price as of Sep 24.
