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 $8.99, set in June 2021. It has been discounted 65 times in the 9 years tracked here, typically at 84 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was this month, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.

On value it sits in the top 10 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 83 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen ($29.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas ($14.99, scores 49).

4 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2021 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 444 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 38.7 hours; clearing it takes 93, which is 2.4 times the campaign.

What players say

I love this game, I have always loved this game, and I will never not love this game.
OrbisonRecommendedafter 4.8hAug 2026Read on Steam
Very odd plot. I didn't care much for the end of the game but it gave me many hours of fun.
OverlordFan2015Recommendedafter 138hAug 2026Read on Steam
LEVEL5 has killed any love I have had for any games they make over the years. This one was one of the best and I wish I could still care but everything new they do is AI and they even did the NFT thing at one point. I can recommend supporting anything they do now. Will you like and have fun with this game if you play it? yeah I guess most will. But really do you want to support them?

[![BANG Score](https://steambangers.com/api/badge/589360)](https://steambangers.com/game/589360/ni-no-kuni-ii-revenant-kingdom)

The 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.
