While there’s no actual evidence supporting a generalized opinion against the game, it’s safe to say that Ubisoft is the reason why people won’t put their faith or hype in the game.

The game’s in-depth gameplay reveal on YouTube showcased a lot of different mechanics and adventures for players to be a part of. However, the comment section is filled with opinions that refuse to be in favor of the game.

With 26,000 likes and 12,000 dislikes, the “cautiously optimistic” fan base may have built anticipation for the game but would refuse to say it out loud. This isn’t the first time gamers have voiced their skepticism about anything Ubisoft has been working on, and it’s unlikely this behavior is going to stop.
