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!
Monolith. It’s a roguelite, a category that I am not completely infatuated with, mostly due to the games in the genre getting absurdly hard towards the second half, but Monolith keeps bringing me back every day. To briefly describe it: think Binding of Isaac, but more bullet hell. Also, no blood and feces.
Weapons are varied and fun, every level has shops and upgrade stations and there are secrets to find, too. Best of all, runs are short. I think the longest one took me a little under 20 minutes, but they usually last about 10. I might get sick of it eventually, as is usually the case with me and rogue-whatevers, but I’m already thinking about my next run.
