Tl;dr: there are some bugs that need to be worked out, but the changes they've made to the loot system and quest structure make for a more varied game than recent titles.

That does sound appealing to me, but I dunno if I wanna break my 9-year Ubisoft boycott.

I doubt that I'll ever play another Assassin's Creed, but it does look really good on videos that I've seen for the XSX

Mass Effect Andromeda scored about 72/100 on Metacritic despite being an absolutely pathetic and bug ridden game.

I've seen a few places say side quests are gone while some say reworked and I can't seem to get a definitive answer on what side stuff is exactly.

Good news. I know Ubi gets a lot of flack, and I actually understand why, but I've always been an AC fan and I had tons of fun with Origins and Odyssey (even if I never actually beat the latter after pumping like 60 hours into it and still havin 1/3 of the map to explore). If they keep the same general formula and find ways to improve the loot system I'll be really happy.

I was planning to get this someday but might be getting it a lot sooner with all this praise. I watched the IGN review this morning and it swayed me.

This one actually looks interesting but I don't think I'll be buying an Ubisoft game for full price ever again.

When "game journalists" like a game that's a huge red flag for me more often than not.

the siblings quest for wealth, glory, and power throughout England is darker, sadder, and more grounded than the tones of the past few games had led me to expect. There are moments throughout where the griefstriken, bittersweet, and just plain bitter resolutions reminded me of The Witcher 3s Bloody Baron delivery. This is a dirty, dingy world where life is cheap and nearly everyone is scratching and clawing to gain power or to keep it regardless of who gets burned along the way.
