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 2019 is where it bottomed out, at $3.74. It has been discounted 59 times in the 13 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 12 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 12 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 4 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 86 percent. Among the games that feel like it, AudioSurf ($9.99, scores 86) beats it on value, while it beats Incredibox ($4.99, scores 64).
This site sampled 460 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 6 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 69 percent of the 1,251 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 10.7 hours; clearing it takes 281, which is 26 times the campaign.

What players say
Had to redownload iTunes just got something to play with. Worth it. Fun game, needs a Youtube/Pandora mod
Without the YouTube mod, then I would definitely recommend Audiosurf 1 over the sequel, but with the YouTube mod installed (with is relatively simple to do), then man, it's really worth it! What makes the previous entry feel better is the gameplay; unless it's been patched, the last time I played AS 2, there were some courses that didn't have safe lane, meaning that I needed to ruin my combo/flow. Maybe that was...
It's fun to play, sure. The track generation is pretty good. At its current state it's only half a game though. The community patch remedies that a bit, but still, it's sad. Also, finishing a track often makes the game crash for me.
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.

Audiosurf 2 scores 66/100 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/235800/audiosurf-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 Sep 7, price as of Sep 24.
