After nine months of non-stop marketing, Ubisoft Game is finally here. But does it live up to expectations? Find out in our review.
By now weve all heard of Ubisoft Game, and if you havent, then youve been living under a rock. Ubisoft Game is the latest in a long line of titles from Ubisoft, and with a bigger budget than ever before and no less than 75 of Ubisofts 193 global studios working on it, theres no doubt that this years Ubisoft Game is going to be the big one.
You can play Ubisoft Game on basically any platform of your choice, but weve been reviewing it on a next-gen console, because thats the platform it was made for.
Ubisoft Game is the story of Main Character, a gruff or sassy white man who is really good at parkour, killing, and killing while doing parkour. One of the most iconic features of Main Character is the way he dresses Main Characters sense of style and flair really comes across in his tailored outfit, which makes him look distinctive and features a number of clear symbols that can be easily used in marketing and merchandising.
The game takes place in a big open world, with lots of people and maybe even animals living in it. That sounds like it should be a paradise, but its not a Bad Thing has happened and Main Character is right in the thick of it. Or maybe hes the only one who can stop it? The story in Ubisoft Game is a bit uncompelling, but thats okay, because theres just so much to see and do.

A key mechanic of Ubisoft Game is that control points on the map need to be captured to unlock particular areas. Each control point is a challenge and gives you influence over that particular area, and allows you do your parkour or whatever without being attacked by the bad guys. When youre not capturing control points with your Good Parkour Skills, you dont have to go and do the main story, although Main Characters skills dont unlock until you do which is kind of annoying. Theres lots to see and do. Ubisoft Game is filled with side activities such as This Gambling Game, Beating Up Enemies Until You Are Told To Stop, Looking For Collectibles, and Tailing Somebody Somewhere For Some Reason.
You can also do the thing which works offline with your companion app, which you can download. Once youve got the thing, you can use your companion app to do it, on your tablet or smart phone! Its neat and impressive, but does it add much to the game? Were not sure.

Ubisoft Game comes in about 4,027 different editions depending on where you buy it and what phase of the moon youre in at the time, so its hard to know if any of the mountains of DLC, Unlockable Extras, Side Missions and Add-Ons for Ubisoft Game change anything significantly about the main story. What we can tell you though is that Ubisoft Game has some neat easter eggs that also make references to other Ubisoft Games, which is nice.
We also took Ubisoft Game for a quick spin on PC, and its a mixed bag. Sometimes Ubisoft Game is good on PC and sometimes it isnt, and this Ubisoft Game follows the same pattern. Its definitely meant for a controller though, unless youre doing some shooting. Thats much better with a keyboard and mouse. For those of you wondering yes, Ubisoft Game uses Uplay. Sorry.
All in all, Ubisoft Game is a game that Ubisoft have made. Youll play it if you like that sort of thing, and in fact it has already sold 250 million copies.
