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
It has never been cheaper than $19.99. That was October 2022. 44 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 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. Past sales have already crossed the $20.52 BANGER line 35 times.
On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Tricky Towers ($5.99, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats Puzzle Together Multiplayer Jigsaw Puzzles (free, scores 61).
This site sampled 756 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 23 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2021 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 87 percent of the 1,414 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 3.3 hours; clearing it takes 64, which is 19 times the campaign.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 3.3 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say
I love this game! I am not good at it but I freaking love this game! 10/10! Side Note: Soundtrack is amazing!
It's a little bit too much for just wanting to play tetris, but i'm not complaining about the graphics either.
I haven't gotten tired of this game since it came out. The audio and visuals are a treat that will keep you coming back (as long as you like Tetris)

Tetris® Effect: Connected scores 73/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1003590/tetris-effect-connectedThe 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 18, price as of Sep 24.
