Give it another 5 years and Ubisoft will be dead, what was the last Ubisoft game without controversy/bad gameplay? I gotta go back 10 years or so
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was well received.
Their "AAAA" output is pure slop, but the smaller games can be OK.
Their Mario + Rabbids games are also great.
I always assumed they were shit since they're the only Nintendo branded games that go on sale for more than 10% off without a bundle.
I think it's only Nintendo published games that basically never go on sale.
Rabbids is unusual because it's got Mario in but it's not by Nintendo.
Their whole policy on never having a sale makes me not want a Switch 2 at all.
They're actually really nice, well-made X-COM lites. Great if you don't want to immediately throw your kids to the Chryssalids.
Rabbids still kinda suck as a concept, but the games are good enough that I can look past it
Nah, they are published by Ubisoft, so they go on regular ubisoft style sales. They are pretty good games though. I haven't played the second one yet, but first one was really well made and polished game.

Yeah, well received but poorly marketed. I guess they are focusing on the wrong games.
It's such a shame that game didn't get lore attention. It's one of the best metroidvanias I've ever played and has amazing combat.
Edit: Talking about Prince of Persia Lost Crowns, the Mario rabbids game was also fun but not as good.
When was the Mad Max game released?
Mad Max is WB.
Anno 1800?
Anno 1800 was an Epic exclusive (and Ubisoft's Uplay) for a year on release. It was available for pre order on Steam. I believe people that bought it on Steam prior to the one year exclusivity deal still got it. It was a whole thing though. Definitely would call it a controversy.
