When I set down Assassin's Creed Valhalla after I finished it for review, my only real complaint was that the base game's main story was a bit too long, crowded by a few less interesting regions in…

It’s already been said to death, but sometimes you really really just want to go back to the times before games were always online, you know? Sometimes you really just want to do some local…

When Assassin's Creed Origins dropped in 2017, many, such as myself, applauded Ubisoft's total reinvention of the franchise and felt the series come back from the brink of irrelevancy. Older fans…

I want to fight weird mythical enemies, but I know not every game lends itself to this. I don't think they'd make much sense in a Call of Duty game after all. If I'm in the middle of Egypt? Throw a…

Assassin's Creed Origins came out last year and managed to take a stale formula and revitalize it. Ubisoft has been giving the game free updates, but now it's time for the first paid expansion to…

I haven't been excited by an Assassin's Creed game in a while. The series hasn't really managed to pull out many interesting new angles that I wanted to experience. Still, I played them, because a…

While Watch Dogs 2 was a great game, its first DLC (Human Condition) felt lacking and was little more than three random side quests. No Compromise seeks to give it another shot. Containing a campaign…

Ubisoft isn't a developer/publisher known for taking many chances. They have a formula for open-world games (appropriately dubbed the "Ubisoft formula"), and they tend to stick to it. However, every…

Most people's memories of Watch Dogs aren't quite the best. Mostly remembered for being overhyped and under-delivering, the game still had some decent ideas to share. Looking for an Assassin's Creed…

I have never been one to dig into more tactical shooters. I was raised on Unreal Tournament instead of SWAT 4, learning how to calculate jump pad physics and aim rockets at fast moving targets.…

If there needed to be a summary for Far Cry 4, it will be a mixture of manically detailing the fun of cooperatively fighting enemies with a friend, being dumbstruck by the beauty of the landscape as…

I wish I liked Child of Light more than I do. On the surface it has a lot going for it - beautiful visuals, a wonderful soundtrack and a fun (though pretty basic) combat system - but in the end this…
