I watched the gameplay leak a few weeks ago and it looked profoundly mid. It's a third person cover shooter where combat is some kind of VATS slow-mo action queue and the bike looks floaty and jank.

It's not really surprising, what was the last good Ubisoft game? They're notorious for just churning out janky, dull slop like clockwork.

I've heard it's a buggy, barely functioning/not even functioning mess too and every PS5 player just got hit with "so uh, all your saves are softlocked so you're gonna need to update and start a new game," which is funny as shit to watch from the sidelines and must be infuriating for anyone actually trying to play it.

Since nobody is taking your question seriously I'll give you my two cents. I'm a little under six hours in, I'm enjoying it so far. It's not going to blow your mind gameplay design wise but I feel it's more competently made than comments make it seem. The shooting is fine but you can do a lot of fun stuff with your little alien companion. Graphics look good to me with some jank here and there. Voice acting is good. One thing I think they did well is quest design, you can find them by reading data pads lying around, eavesdropping on conversations, exploring, etc. I haven't even really gotten into the ship combat but that's gotten some positive feedback online too. Let me know if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer.

fuck disney

If you replace the mc with a generic white guy it goes from a sweet baby inc woke dei ruined game to generic buggy broken half baked ubislop game like every release from that company since far cry 3

It’s bad. No, I have not played it nor even heard of it until reading this post, but I am willing to bet it’s bad.

It's a Ubisoft game. You don't need to know more.

I have concerns about Ubisofts new Scalar system. The game apparently relies on external resources, so I assume it requires an online connection and for Ubisoft to keep making those resources available, and on top of that it's licensed from Disney.

Basically I'm saying it's technically a game as a service, and once there's a license issue or Ubisoft doesn't care anymore, they could just stop hosting whatever this Scalar service is and I presume your game will be unplayable.

I have yet to truly dig into this and find out for sure, but it's concerning and as much as I love Ubisoft open-world trash, I won't be buying this any time soon. I also now have concerns for the next Far Cry.

the player character is very hot?
