Ubisoft boss says it knows players think it has an 'inconsistency in quality,' so it delayed Assassin's Creed Shadows to flip that script

People have their gripes, but I still quite enjoy a big old Ubisoft open world. There's something about the studio's formula for things like Assassin's Creed and Far Cry that lets me achieve a kind of zen state: Just me, a controller, a map full of little icons to tick off, and absolutely zero regions of my brain lighting up. Bliss.

But lord knows I am not the market at large, and it's not difficult to find people criticising the company for its games' samey-ness, or writing, or straight-up technical bugs.
