Thankfully, it very much wasn't, focusing on interactive sandbox tools in what is ultimately a wide-linear structure, rather than Ubisoft's artificially large plains designed for maximum engagement, rather than fun. "Is this Halo: Far Cry?" I thought to myself.

an open world, and a tutorial started rolling showing me how to unlock new areas, towers, I thought, and a familiar sense of dread washed over me. After the intro, you emerge from the bowels of Zeta Halo onto the surface. The opening of the game is exciting and cinematic, immediately embedding you into this perilous new situation in which Master Chief finds himself. I remember similar thoughts while writing my Halo Infinite preview.

(Image credit: Source: Ubisoft | Windows Central) Source: Ubisoft | Windows CentralFar Cry feels like Assassin's Creed, which feels like Watch Dogs, which feels like Ghost Recon. The problem is, they all morph into this homogenous blob that has come to typify what people expect of an "open-world" game these days. I kept having to remind myself while playing, "Imagine you're someone who isn't absolutely sick of Ubisoft's games." I say this because, on the surface of it, all of these games are of generally high quality as a standalone experience. I remarked upon it in my Far Cry 6 review. To say Ubisoft-style open-world games are formulaic would be an understatement at this point. Just over the past few years, we've had Watch Dogs: Legion, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 6, and Ghost Recon Breakpoint, all of which share many of the same story themes, gameplay systems, navigation, and mission structure. Ubisoft also churns out these kinds of games at an almost alarming rate. There was a brief flicker of time where Ubisoft would build unique games like Child of Light, and more cinematic action games like Splinter Cell, but those times are long past. Each of their games, from Far Cry, to Ghost Recon, to Assassin's Creed, popularized the open-world action game to the point where the company barely even considers making linear experiences anymore.

Subscribe to my free weekly content round-up newsletter, God Rolls. We’ll see what Dying Light 2 does with its sprawling world to explore.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Though the longer you go, the harder I think that is, especially in this genre. A game can be too short or too long, while another game may make perfect use of 5 hours or 500 hours. I won’t fault any game for its length, long or short, because I think it’s dependent on how it’s presented. So if I do play Dying Light 2, I would probably hew closer to that original 20 hour estimate of story completion, rather than the pumped up numbers they’re talking about now. And yes, even my thousands of hours of Destiny can be broken down into very small pieces of playtime. Those eight episodes, thirty minute seasons of shows. I don’t know, the older I get, the more I appreciate smaller packages of content. I’m thinking of a game like Skyrim has one of the only RPGs I’d spend that much time in, but hey, maybe that’s Dying Light for some people. The first two, playing for 500 hours does not seem that hard if it’s something you enjoy, while a single player RPG had better be really fascinating and expansive to justify that time investment. I also think there’s some sort of difference between 1) a live service game, 2) a competitive multiplayer game and 3) a single player RPG.
