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 $0.69. That was October 2025. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 83 in the 14 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 4 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 8 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 86 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Botanicula ($14.99, scores 68) beats it on value, while it beats Samorost 3 ($19.99, scores 60).
Of the 490 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 3 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 87 percent of the 2,096 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 86 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 1.1 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say
Great fun But beware playing in game mode - for some reason it can break interactions - go to desktop and go windowed mode
Quirky animations and fun puzzles that won't overheat your brain. Amanita Designs at it's finest. If you like this I would recommend checking out their other games.
It's a classic Amanita Design point and click puzzle game and it's dirt cheap at sale, but man is it glitchy. I don't remember it being this bad? Is it windows 11? Triggers and interactive objecs break all the time, forcing you to restart the level, sometimes it can be solved by changing from windowed and full screen mode, other times you'll need to restart the scene (they are all super short, so you don't waste...

Samorost 2 scores 61/100 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/40720/samorost-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 4, price as of Sep 24.
