A pretty disappointing Assassin's Creed game that I spent almost 80 hours 100%ing because I hate myself.
This was my first memorable experience with "video games can just launch completely broken now and it's apparently OK". Some of the bugs were funny but most were annoying. Even if you strip away all the bugs, what you're left with is a bloated video game that does little to justify its length. It really sounds like I hate this game but honestly, it's not terrible. I had enough fun playing it that I at least wanted to 100% it even if I ended up deeply regretting that decision.
AC: Unity taught me what Ubisoft open world fatigue was and after playing it, I took a multi-year break on one of my favorite game franchises of all time before eventually calling it quits completely with AC: Origins.
Disclaimer: These are my brief thoughts based on my memory of playing this 8 years ago:
