Ubisoft doesn't believe in that mantra

porkChop2589d ago

Ubisoft is the one who should listen the most. Not only are all their games open world, they all follow the same tired formula and structure that started with Assassin's Creed. Each series has slight deviations, but they all essentially play very similar overall.

Open world games are in serious need of innovation, and drastic changes to design and structure. The worlds also need to be more interactive, and feel less static.

Metro: 2033 was one of the most atmospheric games I have ever played and it was also extremely linear.

Review - The Epyx Collection: Handheld (Switch) | WayTooManyGames

Absolute classics aren’t the only games that deserve a second chance and preservation on modern systems. Obscure titles you had never even heard of before also deserve some love, and this collection delivers on this aspect."
