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
December 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $1.49. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 61 in the 6 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was this month, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 43 percent on value. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Amnesia: The Dark Descent ($19.99, scores 71) and Amnesia: The Bunker ($24.99, scores 58) both outscore it.
Steam's global achievement data says about 3 percent of players ever finish it. On an 8.7-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 1 was written by a buyer who refunded it, sampled from reviews written December 2022 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 47 percent of the 721 reviews written there were positive, against 77 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
At 8.7 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
i really liked this game alot. from the references to the other amnesia games and the mystery as to why we are blacking out and waking up with our pregnancy advancing quickly kept me intrigued. also the fact that theres a button just to check on our unborn child is not something i have experienced in any other game and the little chats tasi would have with the child were cute. BUT while the story was good i think...
I enjoyed it, though I do understand why this ended up being such a polarizing game. If you were expecting Frictional Games to innovate on their tried-and-true gameplay formula with Amnesia: Rebirth... Well, they didn't. If anything, it's a slight regression; it's more of a walking-sim this time around, much like The Chinese Room's maligned entry in the series, A Machine for Pigs (which I also enjoyed, but I...
Simply the worst Amnesia title. The main character is just annoying and past half of the game I just wanted her to finally stfu. The cutscenes are so bad and barely allow you to play the game without being interrupted every like five minutes. And the worst part are the puzzles. They are just straight horrendous. Find that thing then put it into this thing then find these mysterious symbols then turn these things and...
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.

Amnesia: Rebirth scores 36/100 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/999220/amnesia-rebirthThe 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 15, price as of Sep 24.
