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 2013 is where it bottomed out, at $4.99. It has been discounted 96 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today's $4.99 at 75 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
At full price it scores 54. The current cut is what makes it a 61.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 5 percent on value. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 81 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Assassin's Creed® Revelations ($5.99, scores 67) beats it on value, while it beats Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry ($3.74, scores 52).

What players say
I mean I don't even understand why I paid for digital garbage which can't even boot Not reccomend just pirate I bet it would atleast boot and won't freeze
The game crashes on start-up and requires additional files made by fans to run ... that alone is a do not recommend. Atmosphere is cool. But its so repetitive. Good thing its short.
Great game, you just have to shut off your internet to play it. But atleast there's no Ubisoft Connect!
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.

Assassin's Creed™: Director's Cut Edition scores 61/100 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/15100/assassin-s-creed-director-s-cut-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.
