  • Seems like Bethesda and Ubisoft have kinda the same problem.

    Once upon a time they innovated and released games that set a new level for the industry. Then they kinda boiled that down to a formula and just focused on making it bigger, missing the point of what made the games popular and what people liked them for.

    They also managed to lose the fine details and parts that people liked in their quest to just make the games as big as possible.

    People didn’t like Skyrim and the early AC games because they were perfect, they liked them because they were the best we had at the time and there was also a lot of care put into them.

    FromSoft could’ve fallen down that rabbit hole as well, but they keep changing things up in their soulslike games.

    Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, each of those games are “soulslike” but also have fundamental changes that make them a unique experience.
