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 $2.99. That was June 2021. It has been discounted 59 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 80 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.
On value it sits in the top 6 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT ($59.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Assassin's Creed® Unity ($7.49, scores 48).
The press gave it 71; the people who bought it give it 90 percent. A 19-point gap in the buyer's favour.
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 11 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written February 2021 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 68 percent of the 1,319 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 13 percent of everything written about it.
6.8 hours to finish it, 20 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.9 times the campaign.
At 6.8 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
Decent stealth with interesting mechanics, cool art style and music. The setting is Asia-inspired, reminds me Avatar: The Last Airbender. Interesting lore and story, especially loved the ending. The gameplay is mostly warping by the shadows to move around and avoid/kill enemies, which is pretty non-typical. Also, there are plenty of useful active skills and some of them are quite overpowered. Since they're all...
⭐⭐⭐/ ⭐⭐⭐ a little bit of a mixed bag. I can recommend it and I like it, but you should treat it with the knowledge of how limited it is in its stealth mechanics. If in the right condition it can be really addictive in its gameplay, the problem for me lies in the type of stealth it wants to be. At least personally, I felt like in the base game (not in the DLC) the instruments were just an afterthought and not really...
This is a cool stealth game with good level design as well as a good level of challenge. It feels like the shadow step is a bit finnicky at times but that might just me being me. The art style and character design is cool. Definitely worth getting. I don't know why it took me so long to finally get to playing this but I'm glad I did.
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.

Aragami scores 60/100 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/280160/aragamiThe 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 13, price as of Sep 24.
