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
December 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. 85 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $8.99 at 85 percent off still sits 50 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Take the discount away and it is a 53. With it, 65.
On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 88 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 Valhalla ($11.99, scores 24).
Steam's global achievement data puts 28 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. Of the 793 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 6 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2026 to September 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,416 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,535 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 37 percent of the 6,826 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (boost, cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
The main story runs 30.2 hours. Doing everything runs 86, 2.8 times as long.

What players say
Assassin's Creed Origins After spending quite a few hours exploring Egypt and eventually finishing the main story, I can say that Assassin's Creed Origins is probably one of the most interesting entries in the series for me It feels different from the older Assassin's Creed games, but at the same time, it still manages to preserve the feeling of being an Assassin's Creed game The World & Atmosphere The first thing...
Honestly, Assassin's Creed Origins was… fine. Ancient Egypt looks amazing and the world is probably the strongest part of the game. Exploring the pyramids, tombs and cities was fun, especially when I was just wandering around with no real objective. But apart from the setting, I never really felt that hooked. The story had its moments, but it didn't leave much of an impression on me. Bayek is decent, but I never...
This was my first Assassin's Creed game I ever played. Found it a very enjoyable story. Controls and game mechanics were good as well. Kind of started me down the rabbit hole of other games in this franchise.
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® Origins scores 65/100 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/582160/assassin-s-creed-originsThe 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 14, price as of Sep 24.
