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
October 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 59 in the 6 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 4 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks. Past sales have already crossed the $8.09 BANGER line 43 times.
Value puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 80 percent of its genre, and the best reviewed. Among the games that feel like it, Mitoza (free, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats Randal's Monday ($19.99, scores 35).
Steam's global achievement data puts 57 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. Of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 29 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2021 to September 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,677 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 1,078 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 92 percent of the 3,356 reviews written there were positive, against 99 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 2.2 hours; clearing it takes 7, which is 3.2 times the campaign.
At 2.2 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

The Henry Stickmin Collection 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/1089980/the-henry-stickmin-collectionThe 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.
