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
It has never been cheaper than $0.59. That was October 2016. 133 discounts in the 12 years on record. They run about 85 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 5 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 46 percent on value. It is pricier than 60 percent of its genre. Finding Paradise ($9.99, scores 89) outscores it, and so does Grimm's Hollow (free, scores 93). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
Steam's global achievement data says about 5 percent of players ever finish it. On an 8-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see.
8 hours to finish it, 28 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.4 times the campaign.

What players say
A Hidden Gem for Classic RPG Fans Millennium - A New Hope is such a pleasant surprise. The characters are written with real heart, each with their own story and personality that kept me invested from start to finish. The world feels alive, and the soundtrack really adds to the emotional beats of the game. You can tell the creator poured love and care into every detail, from the story to the small side quests. It's...
This is another bad, tedious slog of an RPG maker game that really wasn't thought through design wise. The dungeons are boring and seem to go on and on endlessly, even using the arrow indicators provided it was a terrible maze of bad design, tiles everywhere are hard to tell where you can and can't walk. Many of the events are timed meaning you're going to miss a ton of content if you're not following a guide...
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.

Millennium - A New Hope scores 33/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/280140/millennium-a-new-hopeThe 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 20, price as of Sep 24.
