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 $2.49. That was January 2013. 72 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 65 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 2 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 8 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 61 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including STAR WARS™ Knights of the Old Republic™ ($9.99, scores 84) and Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition ($7.49, scores 67).
$35.62 is where it would stop being a BANGER. Today it is $9.99.

What players say
I beat this on my Xbox back in the day, and I am replaying on the PC with cut content restored. I highly recommend this game if one is into Star Wars and enjoys RPGs.
As someone who played vanilla KOTOR 2 on xbox, i decided it was time to do a run with the restored content mod, and this GREATLY improves the game, could not go back to play without it. Even without the game still holds up, the dnd combat is perfect, the dialogue is the peak of star wars. 10/10
Greatest game ever made. Ever. Deserved a third game more than any series 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.

STAR WARS™ Knights of the Old Republic™ II - The Sith Lords™ scores 93/100 on the BANG Score (a BANGER). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/208580/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic-ii-the-sith-lordsThe 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 Aug 2, price as of Sep 24.
