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
June 2020 is where it bottomed out, at $1.49. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 74 in the 14 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 6 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Sonic Adventure DX ($7.99, scores 83) beats it on value, while it beats Crash Bandicoot™ N. Sane Trilogy ($39.99, scores 65).
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 17 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written January 2025 to August 2026.

What players say
This is hands down the best Sonic video game ever made. This version still holds up 25 years later and is lots of fun. Highly recommend
So I did the game back when I was younger but never bothered to finish it, I decided to give the game a second chance and it was alright but I expected a lot more about it. The game has a cool story but to be honest I didn't really cared about it for this walkthrough since I already know the story of the game. As for the gameplay it was pretty jank at times, especially on some levels such as Final chase where I was...
this is the most overrated game i have ever played when coming in this game i was expecting a as good game that sonic adventure 1 was when i played it i was astounded on how frustrating this game is half the levels i spent hours on trying to beat it tails went from being the best character in the game to the worst because for some reason they decided to give him a mech just because they couldn't find a way to make a...

Sonic Adventure 2 scores 81/100 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/213610/sonic-adventure-2The 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.
