The problem is that there's a formula.

Games are supposed to progress over time, not just feel like annual copy pastes covered with RNG map spam.

Fucking preach. Entire problem with Ubisoft is their "formulas". Zero risk, zero creativity. Boring games that all are the same. SO just started playing ac mirage and it looks and plays exactly like Valhalla. Which was exactly like Odyssey. Which was exactly like Origins.

Then they're all like "why are people bored with our games?!?!!"

Mirage absolutely doesn't look and play like the previous three games in the series. Unless I'm remembering it completely wrong and it actually was filled with copy-paste enemy camps, tons of pointless loot and fighting felt more like a hack'n'slay than a stealth assassin adventure game.

Well they just started playing, I'll let her know it might be changing. The UI and engine are just exactly the same, so they have pretty low hopes so far for it getting better.

I'm not saying Mirage is a great game, I'm just saying that it's closer to AC II than it is to Odyssee, Origins and Valhalla.
