SkillUp said that he saw/played it both recently and a number of years ago (before the pandemic), and the game changed shockingly little between those two points in time. And it's basically still just the ship combat from Assassin's Creed IV.
That's all people ever wanted: "Give us AC4 with just the piratey ship parts!" And that would have been great... back in 2015. Now it's a full decade later, and Ubisoft seems determined to instead develop an over-monetized, forever game. The iron isn't exactly hot anymore, so I really don't see the point.
Feels like a pure sunk-cost fallacy to continue trying to squeeze this one out.
A "forever game" also would have been what they made before. This game as a service to follow it up will more likely than not have an expiration date on it that the old games do not.
