You guys understand that even if it was Steam you would have to go through Steam and also Uplay? It's actually less hassle to go through just one DRM instead of the two.
This bundle is a taste of all Ubisoft franchises. Except for Assassin's Creed, you'll notice there's only one game from each series. We might get Trackmania, Trials or Might & Magic games next.

I just tried it and it launched Steam with the game, so it appears not.

I just tried out AC Rogue -- I can't believe how well it runs on my ancient system. Looks pretty nice for an older AC game, too. Looking forward to seeing what else they add.
Pretty much this. Fuck uplay. Steam, GoG or bust.
I thought the same thing when I bought the game last year from Amazon for cheap. Makes me sad that AC III and Black Flag run like ass. Black Flag is better but Rouge is a well optimized title on my old PC.
5. Grow Home ; This is the ET game that we deserve! Finally a gorgeous 3D platformer that brings enough new wrinkles to the formula to set it apart and be worthy of being compared to the 90s golden era for this genre. BUD's design is possibly the cutest and clumsiest for any videogame robot I've ever seen what with his procedural animation making his individual parts move on their own accord similar to another Ubisoft property, Rayman. There are very few 3D platformers that are just about exploration and with this, you're trying to get from ground zero on a planet to space through the help of making tree branches grow higher into the atmosphere. The music, the low poly aesthetic, the atmosphere, all come together that fit with the game's philosophy of being a relaxing experience. But don't let the production values fool you, the game can be quite challenging because there's very little hand-holding or automaticity to the platforming (like there's no ledge grab). You can grow the tree branches in whichever direction and that manual freedom can make for tense involving platforming. Abilities get introduced throughout but just the simple joys of clumsy platforming with the GIRP-like controls that have to be mastered and even if you fall, it's still fun to freefall into the ocean to then get back all the way up with the use of teleporter checkpoints. There's no other game from 2015 that gave me this simultaneous atmosphere of relaxation and challenge, and I commend it for that.
This is good to know. Was contemplating it for The Crew, but if it's shit without Wild Run (or whatever it's called) I'll give it a miss. Maybe it's included in the BTA, in which case waiting won't hurt.75 dollars, holy shit. The Crew without the expansion, worthless 15 tier.
Mind u i did spell rogue correctlyPeople really need to learn to fucking spell rogue.

What's a number between friends?You're a brilliant man. Your post is wrong though - where it says "5" it should say "1." A small oversight, but I forgive you.

I got it and sent him a thank you pm.
The steam games use uplay as a wrapper / DRM...but the file & patch distribution is handled by Steam. Some people like the peace of mind that their game files are in the Steam ecosystem
That's how my steam copy of FC3 works anyway...unless they have changed it since ?

Grow Home controls reminds me of QWOP. I'll never get into purely physics-based controls ever. What am I missing here, people.
Just keep playing, you will get better at it. It was the same for me at the beginning, few hours later I was jumping and diving fluidly wherever I wished to. It's awesome when you get the hang of it.
