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
The lowest price on record is $1.99, set in September 2024. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 20 in the 3 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 4 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is cheaper than 80 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, We Were Here Forever ($17.99, scores 77) beats it on value, while it beats We Were Here Together ($12.99, scores 56).
Critics scored it 82. Players sit 8 points higher at 90 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Players rate it 90 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 70 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 17 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 771 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 19 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 2 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip scores 75/100 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/2296990/we-were-here-expeditions-the-friendshipThe 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 15, price as of Sep 23.
