What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back
Value$2.82/hr

Reviews70% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Refunds9 of 333 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.59. That was March 2024. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 69 in the 10 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 72 percent. On the same math PAC-MAN™ Championship Edition DX+ ($9.99, scores 80) and Sonic Origins ($29.99, scores 34) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

This site sampled 333 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 9 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 727 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 24 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 58 percent of the 248 reviews written there were positive, against 70 percent overall, and those are 44 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 4.6 hours; clearing it takes 19, which is 4.0 times the campaign.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 4.6 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say

What a complete and utter downgrade from the first game in EVERY aspect. The terrible gaudy visual effects are one thing, the lackluster customization that lacks ALL of the legacy references from the first game (pac man arrangement 1996 my beloved) is another. The real problem with this game is EVERY change they made to the actual moment-to-moment gameplay, and all of the problems build on each other to make the...
