Obviously I'm kidding with the post title but for a 2014 era mobile game, it's actually pretty decent to play. No micro transactions or adverts being spammed and the gameplay loop, while repetitive, is actually fairly fun. The only irritation is the achievement to destroy 1000 ships. I finished every other achievement and still had probably around 700ish left to get at the end. I saw an article on TA that said a ton of old win8 games had been fixed which meant the achievements could unlock again, so I had a little check on store purchases on my laptop because I was fairly certain I'd downloaded this back in the day, and I had! This marks 18 Assassin's Creed games I've completed, just have Rogue (360 version) and Resynced to do.

Ubisoft has such an incredible skill at this point for ruining their own games. The domain challenge mode is horrible. Massive shout out to TA user UCantSeeHunter for their brilliant cheese strat to complete the mode as painlessly as possible. I'm so pissed at this that I'm genuinely glad it's the last update, I never want to touch this game again and I'd been having a great time with it up until this point.

​

It's mind-blowing to think that the last four AC games have had bullshit dlc added that ruined an otherwise good experience. From the unnecessary, years after release dlc for Mirage, to the even worse mastery challenges in Valhalla. Then the legacy dlc episodes in Odyssey that were borderline offensive, not to mention boring as hell. Origins was the last one that was just fun the entire way through and that released in 2017. No wonder Ubisoft is going bankrupt, they've forgotten why people enjoy playing games.

Tl;dr Fuck Ubisoft.

I'm torn between enjoying these one achievement updates because it pulls me back in and it's quick and fun to check out the new stuff they've added. But also wanting a more substantial update even if that means more work on getting it back on the complete list. Either way I'm always happy to play a bit of Minecraft.

I vastly preferred the maps that solely focused on exploration and having a wander over the ones that had objectives. The playrooms map was very tedious and I played the 'easier' version after the developer had patched it. Searching for five generators and then trying to find your way back to the gate was just unnecessarily frustrating, for me at least. Dead Mall is the latest title update and it's easily my favourite map. The architecture is so brilliantly disconcerting, especially when you make it outside, there's nothing in the sky besides an endless ceiling of industrial concrete. It was very effective at making me tense and uncomfortable. I'd still recommend the game overall but just be aware that some maps are definitely less fun than others.

I had a really good time with the main game but the two dlc add ons weren't anywhere near as fun. The multiverse one had an instinct to grow a beard to full length and it took two hours real time. At that point it starts to feel less like you're in on the joke and feels more like the developers are deliberately punishing the player. Maybe I'm just being a bit salty because I found it annoying to complete. I'm glad to have played Goat Sim 3 but I'm also glad to be done lol

I had a lot of fun with this one! I ended up doing three playthroughs because I missed an incredibly easy achievement like an idiot on my second playthrough. I enjoyed the story a lot and the gameplay loop was very satisfying. Something about stocking shelves and chatting to customers was relaxing. Another game pass win for me.

I love the Life is Strange games! LiS Reunion is such a great finale to Max and Chloe's story, I enjoyed every bit of it. I'm curious to see where they go with the series next. I'm assuming a new character in a stand alone adventure. I will admit I am a little bummed I didn't realise that the first game had a 360 version sooner, that's lost to the ether now. But I've finished the other 8 available games, so not too shabby!
