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
It has never been cheaper than $6.24. That was November 2021. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 79 in the 8 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $6.24 at 75 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
Take the discount away and it is a 53. With it, 74.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Unrailed! ($19.99, scores 83) beats it on value, while it beats Overcooked ($16.99, scores 64).
The press gave it 81; the people who bought it give it 90 percent. A 9-point gap in the buyer's favour.
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 5 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written January 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 4,796 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, finite spend); the score docks it lightly for that.
7.1 hours to finish it, 25 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.6 times the campaign.
It came out 8 years ago and 2.1K were still playing it at the last check.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 7.1 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say
The online mode is a complete disaster. It's especially laggy when two people are playing. We spent a long time checking our network, only to find that your servers are terrible. We're not the only ones experiencing this; many players encounter lag in online play. Please fix it quickly.
Overcooked is a game for people who don't play games. Got some good laugh out of absurd situations, but that's it. It's just random busy works masked under a game title and cute graphics, and very bad net code.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Overcooked! 2 scores 74/100 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/728880/overcooked-2The 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 12, price as of Sep 24.
