Eurogamer - 2/5 Stars - "Stripped-back Ubisoft formula is admirable yet doomed"
Shocker.
Edit: Apologies for starting this off negative. I'm just tired of Ubisoft and AAA in general and didn't intend to knock the shine off of something that some folks are looking forward to.
That's a bit of cherry-picking though. Almost all reviews seem to range from 7,5 to 8,5 with a few lower ones dragging down the overall score.
It absolutely is. Not to whinge over the state of the gaming press as I'm not one of those guys, but with that said I personally stack weight behind EG's reviews before looking elsewhere. Not to say that they are the best/most objective in their field, but rather that they are consistent and don't seem to pander to publishers. Happy to hear of any other sites that leave others feeling the same.
..and to be honest, after reading a bit more the game doesn't look bad, only middling.
Do they also shit on everything else too? Cause it's all formulaic now. Everything is a Ubisoft type open world collectathon, a soulslike, a wannabe roguelike, a breath of the wild ripoff, a wannabe games as a service shooter, or a starter valley Clone. Almost every game falls within a handful of clichés.
Very few games are truly new anymore.
I was looking forward to it until I saw Ubisoft.
It's developed by Massive Entertainment, which did The Division, Far Cry 3, and World in Conflict. It doesn't feel like Far Cry or AssCreed, and so far no microtransaction or pay to win crap.
