    I feel like lukewarm is the best Ubisoft has managed in about a decade now so seems like it should have been within expectations.

      People give Anno 1800 too little credit, other than that I agree.

      Phoenix rising was a pretty good ancient Greek BOTW experience. Best game they put out in 2020. Better thrash Valhalla or WD Legion

        I thought it was fine but it could have been great had it understood why people actually liked BOTW. The idea that you can just highlight every object in a 1km radius around you completely kills exploration, you’re incentivized to just go from map marker to map marker instead of actually exploring the world.

        Legion was such a disappointment… I still regularly go back and play WD1 just because it has a great vibe.

        Yes, I believe all the UbiArt games did. I would defend all three of those and wish they didn’t slip into the wind

        This was a beautiful game. I think it was also one of the only games I have ever accidentally 100% completed.

      The new Prince of Persia roguelike is pretty good, although I’ve hit a wall recently and am too stubborn to look up a walkthrough. Lots of fun otherwise, though.
