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
May 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $1.49. 46 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 70 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 8 weeks. Past sales have already crossed the $3.82 BANGER line 22 times.
On value it sits in the top 7 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 82 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Grim Fandango Remastered ($14.99, scores 73) beats it on value, while it beats Broken Age ($14.99, scores 42).
The press gave it 77; the people who bought it give it 92 percent. A 15-point gap in the buyer's favour.
None of the 418 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 89 percent of the 268 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
I really enjoyed this game, like, finally a LucasArts adventure I hadn't played yet! It honestly feels like a missed opportunity that I didn't experience it back in the day. The characters and storyline are great, and while some of the puzzles are a bit strange, that's very much in line with the classic LucasArts style, so it feels familiar rather than frustrating. One of the standout elements for me was the comedy...
Great story, good humor, nice puzzles. Reminded me of the good old days with Lucas Arts making quality adventure games.
warm and sweet, good pacing and puzzles, about ~4 hours long worth your money and worth your time
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.

Full Throttle Remastered scores 62/100 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/228360/full-throttle-remasteredThe 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 6, price as of Sep 24.
