Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands Review
The War On Drugs Is… Really Repetitive
HIGH Fantastic combat and tense stealth. A gorgeous and diverse map.
LOW It’s filled with boring and forgettable missions and side activities.
WTF All the bugs and jank.
For Honor Review
At Least There’s No Tower Climbing
HIGH A duel against a player of equal skill level.
LOW What passes for a single-player campaign.
WTF “You cannot join this session because it is full.” Then why did you put me there, game?!
Ghost Recon Wildlands Preview
Ubisoft recently invited GameCritics for an extended session of their upcoming Ghost Recon Wildlands, and I’m happy to say that even after playing it for four hours straight, I still want to hop right back into the world they created. Wildlands dramatically freshens up this long-standing franchise by setting the action in an open- world, fictionalized version of Bolivia.
For Honor Beta Preview
A few months ago, I played the alpha build of For Honor, Ubisoft’s multiplayer-centric knights-versus-Vikings-versus-samurai dueling game. I mostly loved it for its authentic-looking visual design and deceptively deep combat engine, but had some concerns regarding its accessibility and barrier to mastery.
Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection Review
Nothing Is Good. Everything Is Permitted.
HIGH These three titles represent the most memorable story development in the series.
LOW These three titles represent the laziest upgrade package on modern consoles.
WTF Assassin’s Creed II’s gameplay has aged as well as dollar-store parmesan.
Steep Review
Doing 1080s In A Winter Wonderland
HIGH Gorgeous snowy mountains to explore on the ground or in the air.
LOW: The mountains are filled with forgettable missions and events.
WTF: The first person GOPRO camera view is so out of control it’s unusable.
For Honor: December 2016 Preview
Ubisoft was recently kind enough to invite GameCritics to take a look at their upcoming knights vs. vikings vs. ninjas brawler For Honor. I was able to get my hands on a few missions from the campaign, and also went a few rounds in the multiplayer arenas. This was my first time ever playing the game, and it clearly showed as For Honor requires more than button mashing to master.
For Honor Alpha Preview
For the last few days, I’ve been putting time into one of my most-anticipated titles — For Honor, from Ubisoft Montreal.
Although the game isn’t out yet (it’s currently due to release in February 2017) Gamecritics was given some “alpha” codes to get an early hands-on. A number of features were disabled and large portions of the content were not available, but this limited slice gave a very good idea of what the full title will deliver… And it’s kind of awesome.
