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 $7.99. That was January 2022. It has been discounted 69 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 5 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 4 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 85 percent. The nearest things to it, ENDLESS Space™ - Definitive Edition ($9.99, scores 60) and HUMANKIND™ ($49.99, scores 20), are both worse buys on this math.
Players rate it 83 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 72 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2023 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 717 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 19.4 hours; clearing it takes 154, which is 7.9 times the campaign.

What players say
the game has some of the most beatiful and distinct spaceships and races ive ever seen in any game. huge creativity from these guys. good game as well. would recommend
I really enjoy this one, it's just very immersive and has fun colourful factions to play as. It's a very casual, chill, game at least in single-player campaigns. Customizing all the ships and fleets in your Empire as well as the questlines give it an RP feel. The ai being... Not great... Anyone with basic familiarity with the genre is going to steamroll them every time, but if you suck the ai can still just outright...
Pedestrian. Very mid, so a "safe" option to introduce your kids to this kind of game. Pretty average as heck otherwise.
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.

ENDLESS Space™ 2 scores 67/100 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/392110/endless-space-2The 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 13, price as of Sep 24.
