I may be a bit partial as a Ubisoft Partner. But also a life(as long as I can remember anyways, my first Ubi game being Rayman when I was just 6)-long Ubisoft fan, but this is an amazing sale. Want to write a bit on my thoughts for recommendations:
"Don't miss these gems":
Beyond good and Evil *is basically a cult classic. I of course had bought it and finished replaying it just about 2 years before the remaster was announced. The remaster is way smoother in the movements, let me tell you that, haha. I tried it only on steam. But as a rule of thumb, if a game runs well on switch, it is amazing elsewhere.
Immortals Fenyx Rising: Basically my sister's favorite modern game (besides Black Desert Online). I had bought this as well before joining the Ubisoft Creator Program, and I did struggle a bit to really love it. Mainly because I was struggling in the "temples", which was a bit too challenging for my taste at the time. Had there been less of them I would have enjoyed it more. But it has a fun playful tone, and I did finish it (my game completion overall is like 30-40% so it's a good score, haha!). Recommend for people who like games like the open-world 3D Zelda games.
Watchdogs Legion: I have been absolutely obsessed with this game. So much, I even bought it twice. I know there have been some critics who were older Watchdogs franchaise fans. However, this was the first game I played in the series and it blew my mind. It's sneaky, adventure-y, you can style the characters that you pick up just from the street. Want that grandmother to join the resistance? No problem. I even 100% this game with trophies since I just didn't want to put it down. I recommend this strongly for people who like options and like to play around with different approaches for a mission, maybe a fan of Assassin's Creed but always wanted to play it in a modern setting.
Watchdogs: I did buy this after playing Watchdogs Legion. The intro is really good. But because the controls felt a bit clunky to me having player a newer franchise game first, I couldn't continue playing it.
The Crew: Motorfest** : This is a really neat racing game. "Races-lists" is called playlists. Can be good to know. The menu is a bit hard for me to grasp as a millennial with brain fog. Not the most accessible one. But I have found my way to races, and some unlock-able rewards. Now in the new update they are adding in more weather changes, which I am really excited about!
Trials Rising: I have been a fan of the Trials games for about 15 years now. I don't even like motorcycles. No, this game is great because it is calm & focus training mainly. And I think there might be a high-score list. I am a huge fan of high-score lists.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown**: I grew up playing the 1989 Prince of Persia game, taking turns with my dad. I am not sure if we ever beat it. They brought on the original developer for developing this one, if I recall correctly. And it feels like a good tribute, and also perhaps paving a way forward. I am not a huge fan of metroidvanian-style games in general. I did like this still. But I also need break times due to frustration at levels. At least we don't need to start all over when we die in the game anymore.. well, unless you pick up The Rogue Prince of Persia, oh it is a cruel game. But the music pretty much makes it worth it. It's a game for those who like the feeling of being in a trance. That's the best way I can describe it.
The Division 2** When I got offered this code, I decided, you know what. I'm gonna give it a chance. And the intro movie had me in goosebumps. It's actually a really neat game, for being a war game. It felt more like Watchdogs Legions in the control system which I really liked. I'm pretty happy with my progress with it. But as some of you might tell, I have more games than time-energy (it's a chronic illness thing), so I haven't completed it. I keep it installed on my Xbox series s so it's ready when I want to. I even played it during my birthday weekend last year.
Anno 1800:This is a huge game, in terms of file size, but also how the gameplay is. I feel for this game (I picked it up at a wayyy higher price point after I saw a streamer play it and I had missed these type of games). But, it seems I don't make a good dictator. So I'm "on a break" from it. My PC I was playing on couldn't really handle it either. But I think it would run really well on my new laptop perhaps.
Assassin's Creed Origins: This is where they started making these games perhaps a bit too big for my taste. The story wasn't super close to my heart either (about a dad and his son, if I remember correctly). But it's a good action adventure game.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey: I liked this one, it made me want to travel to those isles. But it was a bit too big for my taste, I would still recommend it. Maybe even more so to the people who want to get really lost in the game world that they are in.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Eivor isn't my favorite AC character (Edward is), and I'm not particularly fond of the Viking-theme. But as a dedicated Assassin's Creed fan who actually likes the "present time underlying story" I had to play it. Then I got more and less dedicated over a couple of months. And I do want to play all DLCs. Just waiting for the even better sale.
Assassin's Creed Mirage**: Finally, a smaller world AC game! And one that focuses on Basim. It was a good game, but I wish there had been a more... obvious story plot.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora*: Avatar is the only movie I have ever watched twice in the cinema. So, of course I have been biased. But I absolutely love the world they created. I took a good couple of months and played this game. I am now also playing the DLCs*.
Star Wars Outlaws: I know, I know. The hairstyle. I had the same one in 2009. The only thing that could make this game better would be to be able to change the hairstyle as well, haha. But, as someone who grew up with Star Wars and having her space phobia kind of under control at the moment, so I can focus on the adventure is incredible. And I get to play as a girl. Representation really does matter and I am really glad she wasn't sexualized for this. Nope, it's just a good-ol'-normal, fully clothed...eh...criminal girl. So maybe not good. I'm not sure. I haven't finished the game (not that I don't love it, at the moment I have just been more focused on producing content for various companies) . I had a personal community member picking this one up after I streamed it the past week and she is totally binge playing it at the moment. The game had some more difficult parts where people had to sneak. It was later patched out, making the game not just more accessible, but overall more fun for most people. Maybe I should have played it myself instead of writing all of this. But I do get joy from helping others discover games as well.
