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 $4.99, set in March 2013. It has been discounted 94 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.
Take the discount away and it is a 75. With it, 80.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games closest to it, Assassin’s Creed® Brotherhood ($4.99, scores 77) and Assassin's Creed® Revelations ($5.99, scores 67) both come in lower.
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 16 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written September 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 52 percent of the 5,845 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
There are games that entertain you for a few hours, and then there are games that stay with you for a lifetime. For me, Assassin's Creed II belongs firmly in the second category. I first played this game as a child, and over the years I've returned to it more times than I can count. Every playthrough feels like revisiting an old friend. While gaming has evolved tremendously since 2009, there is something timeless...
Wow, just wow. This game is an absolute masterpiece. I don't want to get on the topic of "Ubisoft bad now" so I'm just gonna say this and leave it at that: Ubisoft has fallen so far. I really enjoyed AC1, I had no idea I'd enjoy this game so much more. It just takes everything from the first game, and makes it better. Combat is really fun with all the gear you can get, parkour is fluid, the story is great. The side...
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 2 scores 80/100 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/33230/assassin-s-creed-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 Aug 3, price as of Sep 24.
