You know, now that i think about it, Ubisoft was the reason I stopped buying AAA games. The last true AAA game I bought was Watch Dogs or R6S back in 2017, and they were ultimately disappointments. Everything since has been AA at best like KC:D or TWWH. And everything I've truly enjoyed has been waaay smaller titles, like Rimworld and Factorio.
Rimworld is a perfect example of why AAA is shit, moddable game with a unique concept that will give you infinite hours of fun because the community can build onto a ~35 game. Sure the graphics are nothing, but that doesn’t determine the quality of a game.
Be very cautious with Factorio. They're not joking when they call it cracktorio. The thing is a finely tuned dopamine machine and will consume you if you aren't careful. It's the level of predatory attention capture of a mobile game with none of the microtransactions, for better or for worse.
I lost 700+ hours to my second factory and only managed to escape because my hardware literally couldn't render the game above 25 FPS any longer.

I've been meaning to get Factorio. It looks insane.

You have been warned.
It's very fun, but set timers for yourself to shut it off.
