    “The Assassin’s Creed franchise evolved into the household name it is thanks to rare, or at least rare-among-AAA, support for risk-taking at Ubisoft”

    Fucking lol.

      “No, no, hear me out. It’s exactly the same game. The same thing we make every single time. But this time, it’s in… Egypt.”

        You know what I would buy? Hitman set in ancient Egypt.

        Infiltrating a workgang forced to build a pyramid, putting a spitting cobra into a nasty enforcer’s chamber pot because he owes the Potiphar some serious myrrh?

        The Egypt one was definitely one where they changed it a lot. So much so that I no longer enjoyed playing them.
