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!

    I tend to play indie games mainly cause they tend to be shorter, and I find I actually end up finishing them more often. :)

    Recently, I really liked

    • Children of Morta, it’s a Diablo style roguelike that’s really polished
    • Dead Cells is another roguelike 2d platformer
    • Baba is you is a neat puzzle game that’s pretty creative
    • Gris is just pure art

    Last big games I played were the new God of War and Persona 5, both were pretty fun. Persona 5 is quite an commitment though.

      Children of Morta was super wholesome too! We thoroughly enjoyed co-oping the entire way through it.

      Though often it did feel like the only viable party was John + a ranged. His ability to soak and group up enemies was too good to pass up.

        I used John at the start, then Lucy, and mostly Joey at the end. I should try going through it coop again, I can see how John + ranged would be a solid combo. :)

      Yay Persona 5 mentioned! I do agree that you need to have some time as it does have quite the exposition. I’m currently playing Persona 5 Royal, but I save it for the weekends.
