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 Narrative game (about 5 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
August 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. 47 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 65 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart. 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 7 percent on value. It is pricier than 69 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition ($9.99, scores 81) outscores it, and so does Day of the Tentacle Remastered ($14.99, scores 72). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
The press gave it 87; the people who bought it give it 95 percent. An 8-point gap in the buyer's favour.
Of the 366 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 88 percent of the 224 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

Monkey Island™ 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge™ scores 63/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). Length is estimated at 5 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/32460/monkey-island-2-special-edition-lechuck-s-revengeThe 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 4, price as of Sep 24.
