Ubisoft just launching flop after flop. I expect to see Skull and Bones shut down soon as well. They also cancelled the newest Division game this year and are scrambling to gain interest for AC Shadows.
Not looking good for them, but also good riddance.
You might like Overgrowth, it has a very physics-driven combat system.
The reason games don’t do combat with physics is because they tend to be insanely janky and inconsistent. You wouldn’t want to swing your sword and have it get caught in something then die.
I played this one and wasn’t super impressed with it. It’s fine but the levels are very simple and don’t have that dangerous rally style to them. It felt more like you’re just driving on casual dirt roads.
I bought this last time it was on sale, and while the game is fun I have a word of warning for people looking to buy this to play with friends: The online is NOT stable!
It often hangs while connecting to a race and waits for the server upwards of multiple minutes. That’s bad since a race itself can be a minute or two long. Also, you can’t race against each other with AI cars, the options are either playing co-op which is piss easy or face each other alone. Races are just a bit lonely with 2 or 3 players.
Multiplayer aside, Forza is a really fun time, I just wouldn’t buy it if you’re mainly looking to play with friends.
I really should go back and finish it… I played CrossCode up until after the ice dungeon but never got around to going further. It’s an S tier game for sure.
What specs do you have? A laptop with an i5 10th gen CPU would definitely not be able to run BG3. My older laptop with a GTX 1060 would barely run it over 40fps lowest settings.
Yeah the war has definitely affected the team a lot, and it’s very admirable they managed to release the game at all. Here’s hoping that with a few bug fixes and patches the game can be a solid entry to the series.
What’s wild to me is, that Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom didn’t appear once on this list.
Makes sense to me IMO. 2023 was a stacked year, and while TotK was a pretty good game, it was way too close to Breath of the Wild for me to even consider it as game of the year. Other games that could’ve won the award over it include Alan Wake 2, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Hi-Fi Rush, and Octopath Traveler 2.
