As I set sail in Skull and Bones I am reminded of many experiences. There is a vague glimmer of the remnants of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag here occasionally, but most of the time I recall a lot…

Prince of Persia hasn’t been in the limelight for years, with its last mainline entries barely making a splash (Forgotten Sands, indeed). Thankfully, The Lost Crown brings it back to the forefront…

The world of Pandora has been a place people have yearned to visit for a decade and a half. While gamers got a chance to visit it in 2009s video game movie tie-in it's only this year that the world…

Assassin's Creed is celebrating its 15th anniversary with the release of Assassin's Creed Mirage. Mirage might be a smaller adventure but it returns to the gameplay formula of pre-RPG Assassin's…

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…

Immortals Fenyx Rising is a really interesting game that plays with some foundational tropes of its genre and spins them to make something safe yet new. It doesn’t always work and has the standard…

Immortals Fenyx Rising is an interesting game. Using mythology as a backdrop and fusing that with a generous sprinkling of humor, it fits a nice niche between Breath of the Wild and the more fast-…

Immortals: Fenyx Rising released in the latter half of 2020 with moderate success. Our own team gave it a seven, praising its open-world design and surprisingly fun puzzles whilst criticizing its…

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…

Immortals: Fenyx Rising is first and foremost a whistle-stop tour through Greek mythology. As such, it's highly appropriate that its staff have sown the seeds for an origin myth of its own. According…

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…

The Watch Dogs franchise has had a bit of a rocky past, yet the world behind it has always been fascinating. Its base gameplay of hacking, shooting and sneaking past the bad guys to save the day is a…

Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft’s tour of Washington D.C. continues with The Division 2’s second piece of post-launch content. This time, you’re going to the Pentagon, the headquarters of the…

After a couple of trips to the future, Ubisoft Blue Byte's city-building series finally returns to its historical roots. Set at the beginning of a radical industrial age full of social unrest, Anno…

The main criticism of The Division was that there wasn’t enough to do at launch. It featured a solid leveling phase that built up to a barren end-game. Clearly, the team over at Massive Entertainment…

Starlink: Battle for Atlas is trying to please a lot of people. Its primary audience is children seeking an epic space adventure, their own No Man's Sky. There is the legion of Starfox fans that have…

I've been keeping an eye on Transference ever since Ubisoft first announced it. Okay, I'll admit, part of this is because of Elijah Wood's involvement. What can I say, I'm a fan of the guy. However,…

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…

Upon South Park: The Stick of Truth's initial announcement, I had some concern. South Park doesn't have a great history in gaming, but as we know now Obsidian Entertainment delivered a great game. By…

Nintendo's Italian plumber has been in a lot of spin-offs over the years. When everything from kart racing to basketball to bumper balls is fair game, nothing should really be that surprising.…

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…

When Watch Dogs 2 came out back in November it didn't quite set the world on fire or make massive sales. It was, however, a solid open world game that did a good job making sure to not fall into the…

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…

The Division is a good game but one that falls short of greatness. Set against the backdrop of New York City post-pandemic, The Division is a Shoot & Loot RPG comparable to Destiny and…

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.…

Announced just 2 weeks before release, Grow Home came as a delightful surprise to many PC gamers when it hit Steam on Feb. 4th. It was developed by Ubisoft's Reflections studio, a small team that was…

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…
