Raising the score
Reviews96% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases

Length5.5 hours
Typical playtime on HowLongToBeat. Endless games score on players, so hours stay out of it

The value story

September 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $4.19. 21 discounts in the 4 years on record. They run about 20 percent off, roughly 11 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 6 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 62 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Binding of Isaac ($2.24, scores 87) beats it on value, while it beats Neon Abyss ($19.99, scores 69).

Players rate it 96 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 87 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 701 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 9 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2022 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 698 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 594 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 83 percent of the 815 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 5.5 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 64, 12 times as much.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 5.5 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

The drop-off

A game like this has no single ending, so its score does not use the finish rate. The curve shows where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

The most recent update devlog at the time of this review felt so human to me that it has made me tempted to play the game again, very impressive. Identity!
