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 $0.49. That was June 2020. It has been discounted 61 times in the 9 years tracked here, typically at 87 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. 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.
Value puts it in the top 10 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 69 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 79 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Portal ($9.99, scores 83) beats it on value, while it beats Life Goes On: Done to Death ($12.99, scores 62).
Steam's global achievement data puts 24 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. This site sampled 552 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 11 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 86 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 74 percent of the 638 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 3.1 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

Suicide Guy scores 74/100 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/303610/suicide-guyThe 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 Aug 1, price as of Sep 24.
