I haven’t played an Anno game since Anno: Create A New World on the Wii and DS, but I absolutely loved those games, and I likewise love Anno 1800, the first game in the main series to also get a console release (the Wii and DS titles were spinoffs). If…
Read MoreOpinion by Matt S. Putting aside the ongoing accusations of sexual harassment within the many Ubisoft towers across the globe (that in itself really should be the main subject of discussion with regards to Ubisoft, but I’m not close enough to sources to be the one to do it), yesterday…

Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla really impressed us, and it seems like we weren’t the only ones, as Ubisoft has reported record sales for the series with that game. Given how venerable the series is now, that’s quite the feat. It naturally raises questions: what might be next…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. The latest Ubisoft open-world history epic is Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. I know that this series has its detractors, but as the “western Dynasty Warriors” I can’t help but enjoy them. In this video, I take a look at the latest one (it’s spoiler-free, I promise).
