Buy-Again Score 50.0/100

21/40said outright they’d buy or play it again · 47.5% inferred from the rest of the review text

Two ledgers, always reported separately: the explicit share is the fraction of sampled reviewers who said it outright; the inferred share reads the rest of the review language for the same signal, without asking anyone to rate anything.

Scored from 80 reviews.

Recent reviews: cheating-complaint wave

A wave of cheating complaints in the recent reviews (55% of the sampled batch mention cheaters) is pulling the recent window down. A known pattern on competitive shooters, not necessarily a lasting verdict on the game itself.

Buy-again regret signal

The Buy-Again Score above (50.0/100) is the number to trust first; it anchors to what reviewers said outright (52.5% again-share). The inferred ledger for Counter-Strike 2 runs lower (47.5% again-share), and the gap is large enough to be worth surfacing.

Two things to keep in mind reading it: some of what looks like regret in the text is irony (a known pattern on game-review platforms, saying they’d recommend it while listing complaints), so the inferred number on its own can run pessimistic. And this signal is only shown here because the gap is large; for games near the top of the register the same measure is too noisy to use for ranking, which is why it never appears there and never changes the register’s order.
