Skull and Bones – PS5 Review


Ubisoft's recent release has stirred up a storm of controversy among gamers, and for good reason. From the divisive integration of NFTs to a litany of technical issues and questionable design choices, Skull and Bones represents a new low for the once-revered developer.



The graphics, once a hallmark of Ubisoft's titles, have seen a noticeable decline over the years, especially in Skull and Bones. Coupled with a troubling trend towards cookie-cutter game design and an alarming increase in bugs upon release, it's clear that something is amiss at Ubisoft headquarters.



But it's not just technical shortcomings that plague this title. The game's core mechanics are fundamentally flawed, players are thrust into a world where chopping wood takes precedence over swashbuckling adventures, a baffling design choice that speaks volumes about the company's priorities.



Gone are the days of epic naval battles and daring pirate escapades. Instead, players are subjected to mind-numbing resource gathering and a distinct lack of immersion. It's a far cry from the glory days of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, a game released over a decade ago that still outshines Ubisoft's latest offering in every conceivable way. The lack of playable boarding, limited ship exploration, and non-existent character customization are just a few of the glaring omissions that leave players feeling short-changed.



To add insult to injury, the game's storyline feels uninspired, with bizarre weapons like torpedoes and machine guns that feel completely out of place in the historical setting.



Ubisoft's downfall can be attributed to one thing: a blatant disregard for their audience and a singular focus on profit. The passion for gaming that once drove the company has been replaced by greed and apathy, leaving fans with nothing but disappointment and regret.



In summary, Ubisoft's claims of delivering a AAAA experience ring hollow in the face of such incompetence. The exorbitant price tag only adds insult to injury, especially when considering the paltry content on offer. Players are left feeling cheated and deceived, wondering how a company with such beloved franchises could fall so far from grace. Save your doubloons for something more worthy of your time and treasure.


Final Score:
