Echo’ing the other reply, but the Assassin’s Creed franchise (at least up to, but not including Origins) scratches my alt-history itch like nothing else has been able to.
Likewise, both Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 5 (inc. expansions) were absolutely fantastic IMO - and are some of the rare few FPS games I would willingly revisit.
Don’t take the above to mean my opinion of Ubisoft as a publisher is particularly glowing - let’s be honest, most publishers are absolute dogshit, due to perverse Capitalist incentives - and Stephanie Sterling’s segments about them on the Jimquisition should have been the final nail in their coffins.
I’ve found that as I’ve gotten older and more curmudgeonly, I’ve also become more nostalgic for the “good ol’ days” of gaming in the up-to-and-including the PS3/X360/Wii era - so my money has stayed largely away from AAA-publisher bank accounts.






It’s weird seeing that branded as Sage - I’m so used to seeing it as Breville here in Australia.
Had that one for ages (a decade or so?), before it finally gave up the ghost. I replaced it with the glass version, and that’s been kicking on for a few good years now.
Literally hard for me to consider any other brands of kitchen appliances, honestly - Breville is my default pick now, whenever possible.
