I have mostly played Ubisoft games.
Their battle royale game Hyper Scape was on an open beta on which I got an invitation. Even though battle royale is as worn out as “open world zombie survival”, I found the game fun to play. My skills aren’t the best for competitive online shooters and I died many times but still I found the game funny. The game’s environments are more vertical compared to the competition, which I liked.
The second Ubisoft game I have played is Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. The game shows that Ubisoft is breaking out of the mould they have set with their previous games with more emphasis on player choice and RPG elements. The game series benefits really much from the added RPG elements, with Odyssey being a logical continuation from Origins. I just finished the game’s main storyline and it had emotional depth at times, contrasted with really comedic moments. Considering how Ubisoft has done stupid and repetitive things with their games in the past, I didn’t set my expecations too high. This is a really good game with high production values, but not “the best thing ever”. Hopefully Ubisoft learns a lot of things from this game and iterates the gameplay elements further with Valhalla.
The third game I have been playing is the Hitman reboot, something not made by Ubisoft. I have only played the first few missions but the gameplay is still likable. Tinkering with all kinds of objects, masquerading as diferent people and trying to be stealthy enough to get a person killed is fun!
Jurassic World Alive
It’s a GPS game like Pokemon Go but with dinosaurs instead. Do I need to explain more? It’s quite fun and dino catching is more enjoyable than throwing pokeballs and hoping to get them, instead you shoot darts at moving dinosaurs with a drone, your accuracy determines how much DNA you get and you use the DNA to unlock and upgrade your dinos.
The battle system is traditional turn based rpg with some dinos being tanky, some fast and some having special abilities like bleeding and point reductions. It’s actually much more like pokemon than pokemon go in that regard.
I’ve been enjoying it a lot but it seems to be a bit dead in my area. I hadn’t encountered any other Dino hunters yet though I’ve seen some upgraded posts so someone’s playing. So far I’m treating as a singleplayer game and as a vehicle to encourage me going out a bit more.
