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
September 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $2.99. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 111 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.
On value it sits in the top 4 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, LEGO® MARVEL's Avengers ($19.99, scores 78) beats it on value, while it beats LEGO® Batman™ 3: Beyond Gotham ($19.99, scores 64).
Critics scored it 80. Players sit 10 points higher at 90 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 7 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2024 to August 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,221 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,699 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 2,063 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 16 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 9.9 hours. Doing everything runs 29, 3.0 times as long.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 9.9 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say
Somehow this game is little harder than I thought. I have to search up for some mission to pass. Bui it is really good game and still a lot of fun. 10/10
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.

LEGO® Batman™: The Videogame scores 65/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/21000/lego-batman-the-videogameThe 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 1, price as of Sep 24.
