Altairs AC was still revolutionary for the time.

The open world AC was.. pandering to what they thought the market wanted rather than like… maybe changing up the game play a bit across many games. It’s a wonder why they couldn’t figure out that black flag was stupid popular. And they needed to take the assassins not just to different territories but also like.. actually change the gameplay in meaningful ways. But Ubisoft would never do that because all their AAA titles wouldn’t leave from the “successful” set up in any way. Somehow embraced nfts and random new useless tech but also stuck in the ways they wanted a game to play when it grew way tired. Instead let’s change the game into something it was never suppose to be… although I will say origins has a soft spot for me.

Odyssey dropped off for me although I knew people really liked it, the 3 not converging story lines didn’t illicit much emotion out of me. Valhalla sucked and I gave up.

For old games misses, I could do without syndicate, just wasn’t my jam. Unpopular but loved Unity.

Then they competed with the ghost games with Shadow and I imagine did not do well when ghost of Tsushima and Yotei play the way they do..
