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
The lowest price on record is $19.99, set in November 2025. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 42 in the 6 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $19.99 at 60 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
At full price it scores 70. The current cut is what makes it a 76.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 90 percent. Among the games that feel like it, ELDEN RING ($59.99, scores 84) beats it on value, while it beats Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty ($19.99, scores 1).
Players rate it 87 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 79 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 11 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2025 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 54 percent of the 1,490 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 44.8 hours; clearing it takes 106, which is 2.4 times the campaign.
5 years after release it still had 1.4K people in it at once.

What players say
I'm so happy this was my first "Soulslike" game because it taught me a lot and prepared me for the next ones. Pros: There are so many weapons and playstyles that there's something for almost everyone. The combat is incredibly well done AND HAS SO MUCH DEPTH that it can become genuinely addictive. You can play the game without engaging with all of its mechanics, but if you enjoy mastering a complex combat system...
Greatest game of all time. Best gameplay, music, lore, characters, bunch of culture, amazing aesthetic. Its the definitive piece of art, and the closest to perfection.
Wtf are these mechanics. How are you supposed to remember these buttons? Jankiest ♥♥♥♥ I've ever played.
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.

Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition scores 76/100 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/1325200/nioh-2-the-complete-editionThe 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.
