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 $9.99. That was March 2025. 24 discounts in the 4 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was this month, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 8 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 13 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 82 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Nine Sols ($29.99, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats Dex ($19.99, scores 48).
Steam's global achievement data puts 25 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. 5 of the 455 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2022 to August 2026.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 9.8 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say
It's Temu Metroid. Nothing Vania about it lol. But seriously, it is a Metroid clone. But don't let that be a bad thing. It plays almost identical to Metroid, but where it departs in similarity is the slow, sombre nature of this game. It is not fast-paced by any means. It actually does you good to be patient during combat. And the easy ambient soundtrack makes for great bedtime music. If you want a "relaxing" Metroid...
Probably my Favourite game of all time. I love the story, the gameplay and expacially the artstyle its very fun to explore the world and finding and fighting new bosses
A good and atmospheric game with interesting gameplay held back by clunky movement and a few weird decisions. Cool things: 1. Story, atmosphere, narrative, music - the plot is cool, it's enjoyable to explore, talking to other people is fun, and the regions we explore are interesting, and the music that accompanies us creates a great atmosphere. 2. Exploration - enjoyable, lots of things to find. 3. Character...
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.

Ghost Song scores 55/100 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/347800/ghost-songThe 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 22, price as of Sep 24.
