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
November 2014 is where it bottomed out, at $2.99. Its cuts run 85 percent off as a rule. There have been 114 in the 14 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 14 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition ($49.99, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut ($9.99, scores 62).
Steam's global achievement data puts 23 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. 1 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2025 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 67 percent of the 6,892 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 24.2 hours; clearing it takes 57, which is 2.3 times the campaign.

What players say
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition I had that game in CD, when I installing that game I can't imagine about what that game and what story will be, maybe this game sometimes harder with that battle system and difficult levels but I love it after long time and sometimes play in that! 1.Story All story around Foltest and Witcher who killed him and framed Geralt, and meanwhile, Geralt is trying to find...
Combat so awful I turned the difficulty all the way down so I didn't have to engage with it (not a skill issue i promise), everything else is really good. Love how Geralt looks like a disgusting slimy vampire in this, reminds me of myself.
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.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition scores 82/100 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/20920/the-witcher-2-assassins-of-kings-enhanced-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 11, price as of Sep 24.
