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 $4.49, set in September 2025. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 92 in the 11 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $5.99 at 80 percent off still sits 33 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
This sale is doing real work. 49 at list, 57 today.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 7 percent on value. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 80 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® Unity ($7.49, scores 48).
This site sampled 799 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 11 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written October 2025 to September 2026.

What players say
The storyline is mediocre and the characters are woke BUT I enjoyed the setting and exploration. I have mixed feelings about the game, and considering the amount of time spent on it, I can't say for sure whether I like it or not. Pros: • Setting Victorian Era London is really beautiful and lively. The city is big and has authentic architecture and styling. Neighborhoods differ from each other and don't look boring...
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® Syndicate scores 57/100 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/368500/assassin-s-creed-syndicateThe 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.
