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 $1.49, set in November 2015. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 100 in the 12 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks. The math puts its BANGER price at $6.64. The record reaches that level 92 times.
On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Guacamelee! Gold Edition ($3.74, scores 90) beats it on value, while it beats The Swapper ($14.99, scores 70).
Steam's global achievement data says about 20 percent of players ever finish it. On a 7-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. 2 of the 390 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 81 percent of the 198 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 7 hours. Doing everything runs 16, 2.3 times as long.
At 7 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition scores 71/100 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/275390/guacamelee-super-turbo-championship-editionThe 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 10, price as of Sep 24.
