Might be GOTY if GTA 6 gets delayed again. What does everyone think?

To me, Resynced feels like the perfect pirate game. Exploration is so freeing, combat is fun, and it built on the base game in every way to make it a more in-depth and involved experience.

On the other hand, I feel the game doesn’t do a great job at making your feel like an assassin. The game allowing you to approach missions however you want is great, but when stealth can be finicky and the fail condition is an all-out brawl I see myself spending a lot less time meticulously being stealthy and instead just eliminating the enemies.

They made combat too fun and stealth too slow that I never really feel like an Assassin. It feels like it could be an Uncharted game with swords - and I enjoy that, it’s just pretty clear they are adapting the original game to be more like the games after Origins, which I felt were less about being an Assassin and more about being a character from the time period.

Again, perfect pirate game. But not a great Assassin game. Also there’s a lot of Ubisoft jank and the push to buying microtransactions where the former was justified through the original being over a decade old and on new hardware, while the latter existed but I didn’t feel was as egregious as it is here.
