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
November 2015 is where it bottomed out, at $4.99. It has been discounted 50 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 8 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 8 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 4 percent on value. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, LEGO® The Lord of the Rings™ ($19.99, scores 67) beats it on value, while it beats LEGO® The Hobbit™ ($19.99, scores 61).
This site sampled 570 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 10 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 315 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
8.6 hours to finish it, 23 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.7 times the campaign.

What players say
The king and his men Stole the queen from her bed And bound her in her bones The seas be ours And by the powers Where we will, we'll roam Yo, ho, all hands Hoist the colours high Heave ho, thieves and beggars Never shall we die Yo, ho, haul together Hoist the colours high Heave ho, thieves and beggars Never shall we die Some men have died And some are alive And others sail on the sea With the keys to the cage And...
impossible to 100% as the game keeps crashing in almost all levels so i lose all my progress and have to replay the level 2-3 times hoping i can make it through without crashing. will still try to 100% but will be very tedious

LEGO® Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game scores 64/100 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/311770/lego-pirates-of-the-caribbean-the-video-gameThe 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 21, price as of Sep 24.
