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 $2.99, set in February 2026. It has been discounted 75 times in the 13 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. 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.
On value it sits in the top 6 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Sonic Mania ($19.99, scores 65) beats it on value, while it beats Sonic Origins ($29.99, scores 34).
66 from critics against 88 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
Of the 639 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 13 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,221 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 754 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 82 percent of the 1,339 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 20 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 3.7 hours. Doing everything runs 11, 2.9 times as long.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 3.7 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

wealthy grandpa steals from marginalised communities, a rat, and the romanians. masterpiece.
Good game, the only thing I don't like is searching for the hidden gems and sometimes the movement feels unresponsive, especially on controller The game is also surprisingly difficult, even in the lower levels of difficulties Soundtrack is fantastic 7/10
I like this game, the thumb down goes because I can't accept videogames that force you to repeat the last level + the last boss + the last "run before time is up" level altogether without any checkpoint in the middle. Lose all your lives, and you'll be forced to repeat that specific sequence once again, altogether. I could understand this punitive system during the NES era, but now it's completely unneeded. The...

DuckTales: Remastered scores 59/100 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/237630/ducktales-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 7, price as of Sep 24.
