    A few people said that last year’s Prince of Persia game was pretty good. But I didn’t play it.

    The 90s and 00s version of Ubisoft was phenomenal. Remember the original Far Cry, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, and Rayman? Everyone loved those games, and they were actually innovative.

    But now Ubisoft is formulaic and seems hostile towards the people who buy their games.

      Prince of Persia: the Lost Crown was probably the best Metroidvania I’ve ever played. A lot of critics agree.

      Ubisoft dismantled their team after they didn’t meet sales expectations.

      The game itself was amazing and made its way onto a lot of Game of the Year lists. If it underperformed, it was either a failure of their marketing department, or a failure to set realistic sales goals.

        The reason I didn’t get the game was their launcher that’s mandatory for all Ubisoft games. I have not bought a single Ubisoft game since they forced the launcher on us and I will never do so.
