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
The lowest price on record is $2.99, set in June 2024. It has been discounted 82 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today's $7.49 at 75 percent off still sits 151 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 87 percent. Among the games that feel like it, STAR WARS™ Knights of the Old Republic™ ($9.99, scores 84) beats it on value, while it beats Jade Empire™: Special Edition ($14.99, scores 33).
Of the 500 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 8 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2025 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,416 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 441 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 55 percent of the 1,743 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (currency); the score docks it lightly for that.
Finishing takes 49.4 hours; clearing it takes 104, which is 2.1 times the campaign.

What players say
I've been tackling my backlog of games for a couple months now , went through the trouble of gamifying evne that process and dragon age origins was something I always intended to go back to but just never did. Pleased to report that I dug up my saves from way back in 2014 when I last played this much and jumped through a few hoops to get it running properly (you *need* a fan made patch to for this game to run well...
Dragon Age: Origins is one of those games that feels almost impossible to make today. I bought it when I was younger, a few years after it had originally released, and I still remember the guy at the store telling me: "This game is wonderful. It will change the way you look at every other game." He was right. Playing it again after all these years, I'm amazed by how much of its brilliance has remained intact. Its...
Dragon Age: Origins remains one of my favorite games, even after 11 years passing since I first played it. Some of my few childhood memories include watching my father play this game and finding it in his section of the family games drawer. I was never allowed to play it. My mother said I wasn't old enough. When I was in my first year of highschool, I was at a very low time in my life. I asked my father if I might...

Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition 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/47810/dragon-age-origins-ultimate-editionThe 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 Aug 3, price as of Sep 24.
