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.
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical RPG game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $0.99, set in August 2018. 34 discounts in the 12 years on record. They run about 65 percent off, roughly 9 weeks apart.
On value it sits in the top 28 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 84 percent. On the same math Reigns ($2.99, scores 76) and Knights of Pen and Paper 2 ($7.99, scores 72) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
This site sampled 368 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 7 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 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 3,416 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 547 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 128 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 13 percent of everything written about it.

Stick RPG 2: Director's Cut scores 43/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). Length is estimated at 8 hours, not measured, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/307640/stick-rpg-2-director-s-cutThe 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 2, price as of Aug 29.
