I was really excited about this game when I first heard about it, right up until I learned it was Ubisoft. Their involvement makes me pretty dubious, so I’ll wait and see how hard they crank the monetization handle, and also what the reviews look like.
Why wait when you can look at reviews and Ubisoft’s fuck-ups right now? The game was released on consoles and Epic at the end of August, it’s just the Steam release that’s in November
Because I’m not really that invested. The Steam launch will have the effect of making me check it out, so I guess that will at least work as intended.
Average score was 76 placing it in the 63rd percentile.

Its the kind of middle of the pack results that show its not bad but its not great either. License fans with realistic expectations will probably have a good time.
Thanks!
No need to wait. It already sounds like it’s a mid game with tons of issues.
It’s called ‘fuck it we don’t care move onto the next project’ button.
Also, I used to be excited for games to go on sale so I can justify buying an expensive overpriced game. Now I see those sales are like 90% off…and I still won’t buy them because I know at even 5$, it’s not worth it to deal with companies launchers and forced ads and whatever they think is good. It never is. Blacklisted all aaaaaaaaaaaaa companies because I’m such of going aaaaaaaaa after buying stuff
This is why you don’t preorder! Don’t pay extra to get the game early when they’ll launch it early anyways if sales are too low!
THEY SLAMMED IT
“⚠️Publisher DESTROYS launch on Steam button after CATASTROPHIC sales!!!😲”
“Softer”? Management/executive speak for “we released a crap product”.
This is why you should release everywhere immediately. If your game is shit, no one will buy it on your second release to Steam/PC/whatever you withheld from. Companies love shooting themselves in the foot.
Well, fallout 76 did sell good on steam
You can block ubisoft on steam
It still shows on store page. There’s just label added with text “publisher ignored”
Yes… Yes you can
