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
Value puts it in the top 45 percent of the games it competes with. Among the games that feel like it, AirMech (free, scores 64) beats it on value, while it beats Battle Teams 2 (free, scores 1).
Players rate it 72 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 61 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Inside the two-hour refund window, 47 percent of the 926 reviews written there were positive, against 72 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.
It is still busy. 1.8K players were in it at once at the last check, across 81 days of tracking. Free to start. It takes its money later, through currency.

What players say
Do not bother getting if you're on pc. There's no way to turn off crossplay so every game you will get sold by console players.
DO NOT GET THIS GAME. ESPECIALLY if you're on PC, you will always get throwing playstation players on your team
honestly, im just a bit upset. i was banned from any gameplay on the game because i didnt pick a character in time. the ban lasts till the end of this year. thats insane. first ban on this game ever btw. only played for a few days and a bit when it first came out. maybe dont ban your players for walking away at the beginning of a quickmatch

Predecessor scores 28/100 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/961200/predecessorThe 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 Aug 1.
A number here look wrong? Tell me what it got wrong and I will look at the inputs behind it.
