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
October 2020 is where it bottomed out, at $4.49. 97 discounts in the 12 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $7.49 at 75 percent off still sits 67 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 15 percent on value. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 72 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Styx: Shards of Darkness ($1.39, scores 55) and Assassin's Creed® Syndicate ($5.99, scores 57) both outscore it.
Players rate it 78 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 70 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 17 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2026 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,221 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 970 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 43 percent of the 6,454 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (currency, boost); the score docks it lightly for that.
Finishing takes 17.2 hours; clearing it takes 80, which is 4.6 times the campaign.

What players say
This one was annoying at the end, 30 hours in i was saying the game is good, mechanics are decent, and combat is fine. BUT my biggest issue was the sheer amount of collectibles you have to do, the map is bloated with chests and other collectibles, and its not even fun to do or has a purpose, most chests were level 3 lockpicks, and almost half of those were locked behind a locked door, make it make sense... other...
Good game and decent story, Arno is a good protag imo feels very human to me. The parkour is a hit or miss sometimes its smooth and then sometimes it sucks especially when Arno just turns or jump to places that you aren't going to. ALOT OF BUGS AND I BLAME THAT ON UBISOFT DEAR GOD THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I HAVE GOTTEN STUCK IN ONE PLACE FROM THE PARKOUR AND HAD TO RESTART FROM CHECKPOINTS OVER AND OVER. You will witness...
Peak game, but this ubisoft launcher. FU ubisoft, there is reason why your studio is dying.

Assassin's Creed® Unity scores 48/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/289650/assassin-s-creed-unityThe 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.
