In which case the adviser in your earpiece will verbally ponder what it’d be like if she was drunk and played darts.

When you enter a pub and play darts you may have the chance to compete against a woman. Here’s an example of how disappointing Legion can be. Legion has only served as enticement for me to get my head out of its bathwater and oxygenate myself with the thoroughly enthralling expanses of a Rockstar game, be it GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, L.A. Here’s the thing about Legion, it’s got a fantastic cybernetic London and it does try to be dumb fun but the rote missions, a total lack of substance in the main story and the embarrassing attempts at humour ruin it. Watch Dogs: Legion didn’t ingratiate itself to me either. I didn’t find El Presidente Anton Castillo to be that great either, he basically reminds me of any generic Hispanic villain in a sharp suit who can persuade the masses to go along with his vision – quite akin to Just Cause 3 if you ask me, but with a greater emphasis on the antagonist and story. Some critics think that this sameness is worth 8s and 9s, which is a great thing as they are able to enjoy something I could not, but the more they praise games that don’t change things up the more experiences like that we’ll end up getting. This doesn’t mean they are bad video games, but the tedium can often outweigh pleasure.

To play all of these games for hours and hours on end is insanity, not because of their enormity but because they are dry and tame. Watch Dogs: Legion, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, Far Cry 6, and Riders Republic have all been released in the past 13 months and all of them are indulgent beyond belief in terms of how huge they are.

Several of the major culprits of excess over entertainment in Ubisoft’s vast catalogue have come in the past year or so.

For every success like Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time, Far Cry 3, Rayman Legends, Watch Dogs 2, and Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, and several Assassins Creed entries – including Assassin’s Creed 2, Brotherhood, 3, and Black Flag – they have produced overstuffed open world games that incentivise you to collect tat and tick off a laborious checklist of to-dos rather than entertain. Ubisoft has a chequered history producing quality videogame experiences, in my view. How come Rockstar are so good at open world games? (Rockstar Games)Ī reader despairs about the modern state of open world Ubisoft games and tries to break down what it is that Rockstar does better.
