Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Ubisoft is trash. Think you own a game? Wait till they change their terms of service. Time to download and sign into a third 2nd party launcher they decided to create in the last decade. Ubisoft can suck it. This game is great and still…”
“Story line makes no sense in realistic means, and its endings are unrealistic. It relies too heavily on cut scenes to extend the length of the game.”
