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
March 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $2.99. It has been discounted 63 times in the 9 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 13 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. LEGO® STAR WARS™: The Force Awakens ($19.99, scores 55) outscores it, and so does LEGO® The Hobbit™ ($19.99, scores 61). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
7 of the 524 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 60 percent of the 224 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 6.2 hours. Doing everything runs 18, 2.9 times as long.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 6.2 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

The LEGO® NINJAGO® Movie Video Game scores 51/100 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/640590/the-lego-ninjago-movie-video-gameThe 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 14, price as of Sep 24.
