    And from ex-ubisoft devs no less; the undisputed king of mediocrity. It’s a testament to how utterly crushing the weight of shareholder influence and middle management bloat is on the people working there. Creativity cannot flourish within a publicly owned company that only seeks profit and nothing more.

      Whenever I hear the Ubisoft narrative I feel nothing but boiling wrath for all the people who chose to not play the two Prince of Persia 2D platformers they made. I am thoroughly bored of their open world fare, but it’s astonishing how reliably their most creative, better games are their worst performers.

        Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.

        Hands down best action adventure ever.

        That combat was soo smooth and satisfying.

        I want to replay it every year, but it hangs shortly after start on my Steam Deck.
