I feel like lukewarm is the best Ubisoft has managed in about a decade now so seems like it should have been within expectations.

People give Anno 1800 too little credit, other than that I agree.

[–] knatschus@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Anno sure is great, sadly it's not on a platform I'm willing to play on.

[–] Kelly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Best anno was on Wii.

I've been enjoying Far Cry 3 even with the multiplayer servers shut down. Did they ever make another game that isn't also Far Cry 3?

That newer Prince of Persia game was supposedly good

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Which is so underrated, I'd put it as better than any of the recent 2D Mario games. Years later and Mario Wonder doesn't even come close to the music levels in Rayman Legends.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

I personally prefer origins but legends is still a great game

Phoenix rising was a pretty good ancient Greek BOTW experience. Best game they put out in 2020. Better thrash Valhalla or WD Legion

[–] simple@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago

I thought it was fine but it could have been great had it understood why people actually liked BOTW. The idea that you can just highlight every object in a 1km radius around you completely kills exploration, you're incentivized to just go from map marker to map marker instead of actually exploring the world.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

It was okay but it never motivated me enough to actually finish it.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Legion was such a disappointment... I still regularly go back and play WD1 just because it has a great vibe.

[–] Maultasche@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Did Child of Light come out within the last decade?

[–] Paranomaly@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

Yes, I believe all the UbiArt games did. I would defend all three of those and wish they didn't slip into the wind

[–] thejml@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

July 2024, just barely outside of 10yrs ago.

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

This was a beautiful game. I think it was also one of the only games I have ever accidentally 100% completed.

[–] Thassodar@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The new Prince of Persia roguelike is pretty good, although I've hit a wall recently and am too stubborn to look up a walkthrough. Lots of fun otherwise, though.

[–] yamanii@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

And only because it's not by them, but by the team behind dead cells.
