Scores — click any row to see our rationale
Game Quality▼6.5/10

Assassin's Creed Shadows scored 80/100 on Metacritic. Rainbow Six Siege has maintained a healthy competitive scene since 2015. Skull and Bones scored 62/100 after nine years of development.

Player Respect▼4/10

Ubisoft's terms of service grant them the right to revoke access to purchased games. They exercised this with The Crew in 2024, removing it from all accounts. Always-online requirements have been applied to some single-player titles.

Catalog Depth▼8/10

Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Rainbow Six, Watch Dogs, Ghost Recon, For Honor, The Division, Just Dance, South Park, Prince of Persia — one of the widest genre spreads of any Western publisher.

Value▼5.5/10

Ubisoft+ Classics at $7.99 per month via PS Premium Extra includes back-catalog titles. Ubisoft's open-world games frequently drop to $20–30 within six months of launch — one of the fastest discount cycles in AAA gaming.

Innovation▼5/10

Ubisoft established the modern open-world checklist format with Assassin's Creed Origins and Far Cry 3, which became the dominant AAA template for a decade. No genre-defining mechanic has been introduced since.
