Ubisoft doesn't often make bad games but they never make great games either, they are always 4/10, 5/10, 6/10. The only thing that I can give a better score to is Child of Light. Took long enough for this shit to start losing money.

Child of Light was a successful attempt at making a good indie-like game. I liked it. It was different and creative. They had something great. I wonder what became of the announced sequel...

Plourde expressed that he was unsure if it was still in development but said that he was not involved and that it was unlikely, with most of the core team responsible for the original game having departed the company.
With a focus on games as a service, Plourde expressed doubt over the prequel, believing games such as Child of Light to be no longer something that Ubisoft would want to make.

Rayman Origins and Legends were great. But that was over a decade ago.

Zombiu, AC: Black Flag. Both great games. Rare for Ubisoft though

AC: Black Flag could be great if was not an AC, just Black Flag and the game didn't age quite well to me, tried to replay recently and is boring to me.

You know, you’re kind of right. I tried to replay it recently and found it boring and thought it was just me. I didn’t consider it possible.
