Help, February 2025 Is Packed With Way Too Many Massive Games
25.9.2024
We still have over three months left in 2024, but looking ahead to next year has me a little nervous. The early months of 2025 are already filling up with a ton of big RPGs and long-ass games that will be hard to keep up on. And Ubisoft’s recent delay of the next Assassin’s Creed has only made...

25.9.2024
Assassin’s Creed Shadows was supposed to be one of the biggest games of the fall. Instead it will now come out on February 14, 2025 instead. Publisher Ubisoft blamed the delay on “soft” sales from Star Wars Outlaws, and said it would be using “learnings” from that game in order to improve...
Assassin's Creed Shadows Has A Base-Building Sim Inside Of It

Assassins’ Creed began as a game about sneaking up behind people and stabbing them.

17.9.2024
I associate the fall with coziness. There’s little better to me than a cool autumn weekend spent on the couch rewatching some of my favorite shows and movies or picking at a particularly lengthy game. The days are getting shorter and the nights are growing long again, and as we naturally begin...

Star Wars Outlaws Is A Crappy Masterpiece
2.9.2024
I was staring at a wall. It was an early mission in Ubisoft’s latest behemothic RPG, Star Wars Outlaws, in which I was charged with infiltrating an Empire base to recover some information from a computer, and this wall really caught my attention.Read more
Revenge Of The Savage Planet Is A Surprising Sequel To A Great Metroidvania
22.8.2024
Journey to the Savage Planet is a 2020 first-person Metroidvania that sold pretty well and was absolutely fantastic if you played it, but strangely there’s a really high chance you’ve never heard of it. It’s a fate all too often reserved for bright, colorful, fun-first games that don’t obey...

1.8.2024
Ubisoft has become almost synonymous with open-world games in the past two decades thanks to franchises like Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry. So it’s no surprise that people expect the publisher’s next game, Star Wars Outlaws, to take a lot of inspiration from those in-house tent-poles that have come...
Olympic Fencer Thought He Was In Street Fighter For A Sec
29.7.2024
I’m convinced that this year’s Olympics are for the gamers. A while ago, a runner who was on his way to the Olympics kept flashing Yu-Gi-Oh cards before his races. Then, the Games actually began with an apparent nod to Assassin’s Creed, complete with rooftop parkour and hooded figures. There...

29.7.2024
With the opening ceremony on July 26 well behind us, the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics are in full swing. The international sports tournament, which happens every four years, has made us all patriots once more (at least temporarily) as we root for Team U.S.A. to clean house. While you may catch some...
Overwatch 2's Identity Crisis, The Hate Driving The Assassin's Creed 'Controversy,' And More Opinions For The Week
28.7.2024
This week, Ubisoft released a statement addressing what might generously be called a “controversy” about the upcoming Assassin’s Creed game, Shadows. Let’s be real, though. It’s just the latest salvo from a reactionary hate movement. You can read our thoughts on that, the terrific texture of Yakuza...
The 2024 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony Goes Full Assassin's Creed Parkour On Paris' Rooftops
26.7.2024
I didn’t know the 2024 Olympic Games were starting today. Or that they were in France. So I was extra surprised when the opening ceremony looked like a scene out of a classic Assassin’s Creed game. Read more
Ghost Of Tsushima, As Told By Steam Reviews
25.7.2024
When the action-adventure game Ghost of Tsushima first launched on PlayStation 4 in 2020 it was pretty spectacular. The Assassin’s Creed-like title from Infamous developer Sucker Punch, set during the first Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274, delivered a wonderful take on a tried and true formula....
This Was Never About Anything Other Than Hate
23.7.2024
On July 23, in response to the ongoing backlash against a Black lead character in the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows, developer Ubisoft released a lengthy statement. The responses on X (formerly Twitter) were exactly what you’d expect: racist images, slurs, and calls for historical accuracy in...
Ubisoft Issues Weird Statement On Assassin's Creed Shadow Controversies
23.7.2024
Since the announcement of Ubisoft’s next Assassin’s Creed game, Shadows, it has been at the center of a culture war. Most of the conversation has been carried out in intensely bad faith, focusing on the usual suspects’ hatred of any game that doesn’t center a straight white male character, but it’s...
