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 $6.99, set in October 2024. It has been discounted 22 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. 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 6 weeks. It becomes a BANGER at $7.24, a level the record has reached 14 times.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 97 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Baldur's Gate 3 ($59.99, scores 93) beats it on value, while it beats Late Shift ($3.59, scores 66).
Steam's global achievement data says about 2 percent of players ever finish it. On a 5.4-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 21 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 3,353 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
5.4 hours to finish it, 15 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.7 times the campaign.

What players say
Objectively, it's very average... But deep in my heart, I find it incredibly peaceful and relaxing to indulge in this world, knowing love is all around with six lovely waifus! Some of the scenes, especially the ending sequences where you get your final moments with each girl are shot and edited almost like a music video. It is so romantic, OMG. Shout out to my homie Lao Liu for being a true bro and teaching us that...
Its Very Good Game , but we cant choose our own story . We have afffection Bar Restrictions , so try to Remove that u have to fill the affection bar to continue to next chapter
TL;DR - Good acting, good video quality, bad story, no real choice. I had originally started writing a review prior to finishing my first playthrough. I was about 4 chapters in when I was writing it, then had to restart my PC, forgot to submit it, and I lost it. I am glad I waited because my opinion of this game got a whole lot worse after I finished it. Be warned, this review will contain spoilers. I will put them...
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.

Love Is All Around scores 79/100 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/2322560/love-is-all-aroundThe 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.
