I don't know guys. It seems Unisoft have lost it. I don't buy games from them anymore. I don't know what happened to me, but after I made the decision, I found myself buying Far Cry 6 even though I hated Far Cry 5 with passion (I think it was Gustavo Fring). I am 2 hours in and I am not feeling it. The prologue was nice but then it turned into random missions. Go do this, do that. Should I just drop the game?

I'm have the exact opposite reaction right now. I stopped buying Ubi games years ago, but through give aways I got Assassins Creed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla for free. I never touched them until recently when a friend started playing through Odyssey and was talking about how much fun he was having. I installed Origins and played though it (because I can't skip games in a series) and I kinda enjoyed it. Then I played Odyssey and it blew me away with how much fun I had. I'm on to the second DLC of it, and when I'm done I'll start up Valhalla.

As far as Far Cry games go, though, I haven't enjoyed one since 3.

I've played Odyssey and it was fairly fun to play, but Valhalla to me seemed a bit, idk, empty? Not much parkouring around in large towns like an assassin when the buildings are pretty sparse and small.

Thats what worries me the most. I heard that Valhalla was pretty much just an action hack and slash, and that isn't what I want. I'm going to give it a go, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

FC6 was the first ubi game I really disliked. same as you a few hours in and I just couldn't get into the vibe of it. I really liked FC5 (possibly in my top 10 of all time) but 6 felt like such a miss

Ubisoft lost it after AC Brotherhood.

Why not pirate it first if you didn;t enjoy the last one? I disliked 5, pirated 6 and found out very early that it wasn't gonna be good.

Yeah refund it and get the new Prince of Persia instead
