Recognition for what? Shitting on Japanese history at every opportunity, to the point of not even knowing the difference between Japan and China in some cases? Yeah, those historians really knocked this one out of the park...

Lol the video games journalists are behaving predictably and trying to praise latest woke AAA product from big advertising publisher. Who the hell still actually listens to these people or trusts their opinion on anything anymore? Either you're a total lefty or a total sucker, that's all that remains as far as their possible audience is concerned. Predictably the comments are either total shills and liberals trying to astroturf and gaslight, or they're the occasional based user laughing at how lame and predictable it is.

This seems to be Veilguard all over again. The journalists collectively praised that as well.

The cash shop has soft player power available to buy. Gives you resources and progression materials to use. Standard Ubi.
Reviewers are subtracting points based on that. Not sure that's warranted, considering it was a given this franchise/developer will include something besides cosmetics in the shop.
Expecting the shop to be cosmetic only is a weird take.

Yea so weird to expect a single player game not to be riddled with p2w mtx, definitely unfair to rate them lower for that.

Yeah my point was the reviewers sound surprised it's got a standard Ubi cash shop. Nobody said it was going to be cosmetic only.
Most players completely ignore these types of cash shops in Capcom/Ubi games. They're irrelevant to the single player experience who would just mod anything they want anyway. It's weird to include it as some kind of keynote exactly because it's a single-player game and can be completely ignored-- UNLESS the reviewer can provide proof the game was designed intentionally to drive the use of the cash shop.
Then you can get down to a 0/10 at that point.

Watching a giant black bulldoze his way through 100 tiny asians and chop heads off people. pick them up with a sword through the sternum, and gladiator kick them to paste in an ASSASSINS Creed game is kind of peak unintentional hilarity. This may be the only time people beg for more outside of the Animus gameplay.

Ubisoft absolutely designed the xp curve to "encourage" people to buy the 50% boost when they added 20 more levels to AC: Odyssey (and then another 29 a year and a half later, this time without a glitch that people could use to level quickly without paying). Given the insane prices they ask for gold/ultimate/whatever editions, I see no problem at all if a reviewer starts Ubi slop with a couple points knocked off because of their retarded MTX shop.
Also glad to see Mortym finally stopped being spineless about criticizing shit games. His reviews were becoming useless for anything but niche indie titles.
