Most underrated game of all time (because you have to ignore the middle 10-100 hours of it to appreciate it. The first last few are genuinely really really good)

Honestly, I don't get how this game broke Ubisoft. It's not bad, but it's also no great. They tried to not make it a classic Ubisoft open world Star Wars themed Assassin's Creed and they mostly succeded.

Thats the thing with Ubisoft. They dont make offensively bad games. They're mostly just bland. What sells them (for me) are pretty unique settings and cool broader concepts. Thats probably that french je ne sais quoi which pulls in (my) attention. But everything else just falls apart if you're a bit more into games. You know i dont want to use the 'G' word. I dont want to make the case fore the distinction between casuals and hArDcoRe - there it is - gAmeRS. But Ubisoft games just still feel soooo formulaic. Even when they kinda try to remedy that fact. Yeah, they try to clutter the map with less interest points. Yeah, they stopped making you climb towers to populate said maps with interest points. But it still feels made by committee. That corporate smoothing stone is just there. Atleast gameplaywise i could handle it. But my biggest gripe personally is just the utterly shit writing in Ubisoft games. Its just soooo bad IMHO. They cant tell a compelling story. Always feels like an afterthought to the gameplay which already isnt landing for me. Like yeah, SW Outlaws is a above average alright AAA title. But i just cant anymore after 15 years of the same shit with the same patterns.
