Playing this week: n/A (DISCUSSING UPCOMING RELEASES)

After Watch Dogs Legion, we dive into Ubisoft's next major offering. The aggressive monetization and loot-based progression appear to have been abandoned, in favor of a more conventional progression system the likes of which we encounter in Ghost of Tsushima and Horizon Zero Dawn. Cheers to the resurrection of Ubisoft.
