No, they need to sit down and look at what made the game great and create a new entry in the series that builds upon that. No more goddamn remakes.
Altair, Ezio, and Desmond made the series great. Redo those then kill the series off for good
I took a big break from the series after being disappointed by 3. then got Origins Gold and Odyssey Gold for $20 each on sale.
Origins was a great balance of story and gameplay. All the sidequests lent themselves to the story and the exploration being locked off by levels made it to where you would naturally progress into certain areas when the story needed you to. Bayek was a great protagonist and Aya would have been too if given the chance. Ubisoft got sloppy at the end of the game and their former President fukked over the whole game pretty much since he never wanted female protagonists. Modern day was a complete afterthought in this one, Laila not much of a compelling lead due to how they designed this portion. Game still felt like a natural progression of the series.
Odyssey on the other hand was way too bloated imo. Once again the decisions of the former Ubisoft President fukked the whole game up; the story only makes sense if you play as Kassandra and Alexios is Deimos. So why even have the option to play as bum ass Alexios?? The game pacing is all fukked up though, from the beginning you can go anywhere and do anything - which I did. So I was way overleveled during the story quests. The cult - the whole damn point of the game - is fukking optional and outside of 3 or 4 members somehow not central to the story at all smh. During my random exploration I was coming across high level members and leaders of the cult and cheesing the game to take them out. the game suffered from this. They really tried to expand the modern day and Isu side of the story with this one which was a great move, but the stories just dragged on and on. some of the major shyt is only explained by reading notes on Kassandra's laptop....FOH. In the old games they gave you the big pieces in the story but left enough mystery for you to hunt down the clues and fill in the lore of the world.
With Valhalla, they tripled down on the RPG elements and have even more bloat. Once again the poor decisions of the former Ubisoft President rears its head with the no female protagonists rule, the story only makes sense if you play as female Eivor. But somehow they keep pushing the male variant. I'm happy they are supporting their game with expansions but I'm done with these games until they make a serious change
