Another horrible horrible year for FIFA. EA SPORTS had a pretty good and well done game at release, but that sweetness only lasted about 2 weeks. After patches, its now the same DDA sht show like every other year. It really is unacceptable that this is the "best" way to play current-team football.

LIES OF PEAK DLC

Game itself is really solid, but playing with randoms have been miserable so far, and no ultrawide support STILL, taking over half the screen with black bars is not fun. Solo is also way too hard, can't recommend in its current state sadly.

Lies Of Peak

Vox approves

This is the most underrated AC game by far. It does not reach the highest highs of Unity, but more importantly it doesnt reach the same lows. This game has a stealth system that actually works, compelling side quests with historical characters, and it runs and plays pretty well while still looking great. Something sadly Unity lacks.

The missions are structured 50/50 with the 2 assassin twins, and this was fine for most of the game, until the endgame, where they force you into playing Jacob most of the time. Evie is focused on the plot and should be the leader, but somehow they made the other protagonist who couldnt care less about anything the leading role. Jacob even ruins a lot of stuff in the story that his sister Evie has to clean up, what an awful character. We do get to see a 20 year old jump in the one of the DLCs where Jacob seems way more compelling, but he only has a few lines, a lot of wasted potential sadly. Evie on the other hand is lovely.

All in all, Its not as deep or as focused on the Creed as Unity, but its playable and has fun & fleshed out systems that make the game addicting to play. With 2 great DLCs aswell this is a great experience. A few adjustements to the grappling hook and a more difficult combat would be great, but its very fun nonetheless, would recommend on a sale.

(If you have an ultrawidescreen with high resolution you need to go through a lot of sht to get it working correctly, so I can tell you what helped me,- Every time I launched the game, change from borderless to windowed, then back to borderless, I then had to run the SyndicateUW software and activate it for all cutscenes to render in Ultrawide. Would recommend researching for some edits in the .ini files to make it run better)

Masterpiece.

Seems like an anomaly for Ubisoft to make something interesting these days, but they've actually managed to create something great here. I didnt care for the story, the start is slow and boring, but after awhile the story actually does get better and better. Ending with one of the best endings in the series. They also kept the momentum going with 2 high quality DLCs, which were by far my favorite parts of the game.
The worst part of the game is the level system, if you go 30 seconds into a region that has enemies higher level than you, you get 1 shot by literally all enemies. The system sucks and it locks you out of exploring. Even the story missions has a recommended level, which forces you into doing garbage for hours. The sidequests were boring for the most part so I just skipped a lot of them, but the DLC ones were surprisingly good.
All in all worth playing just for the ending & the DLCs, without a doubt the best one since Black Flag
