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 February 2025. Its cuts run 80 percent off as a rule. There have been 70 in the 9 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 6 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks. It becomes a BANGER at $11.62, a level the record has reached 57 times.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, LEGO® Marvel™ Super Heroes ($19.99, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats LEGO® The Lord of the Rings™ ($19.99, scores 67).
The press gave it 80; the people who bought it give it 91 percent. An 11-point gap in the buyer's favour.
Of the 759 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 27 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 887 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 15.3 hours; clearing it takes 49, which is 3.2 times the campaign.

What players say
Very fun to 100%. It really is LEGO Grand Theft Auto hahah There are so many vehicles and characters to collect that it took over 10 minutes to buy them all at the end. Lovely game
LEGO City Undercover is a fantastic game, especially if you have some nostalgia for it. I already knew the story from watching Let's Plays years ago, but playing it myself still didn't disappoint. The story is fun, surprisingly long, and complemented by plenty of side quests and a great open world that gives you a lot to explore. You can easily get around 30 hours of gameplay out of it, which I think is great value...
its really nostalgic for me especially since i used to play LEGO games when I was younger

LEGO® City Undercover scores 76/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/578330/lego-city-undercoverThe 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 17, price as of Sep 24.
