Gamepass just got Farcry 6 and AC: Valhalla and both games are exactly as you said, derivative shit, but it surprised me because I know ubi has their own sub. I wonder if they are abandoning it already.

The first Assassin's Creed was kinda cool, but everything else has pretty much just been the first game in a different setting, played one ya play them all.

Absolutely and it's so lazy a series. While some entries did raise the bar a little bit in terms of world building or graphics, they are still the same crap in a new skin. There is a side by side comparison between the first game and the latest on YouTube and while there are changes you'd be forgiven for not knowing there was a 16 year gap between the two games. Even some of the same bugs remain such as feet clipping into the horse during mount / dismount because they couldn't be bothered to fix the animation.
