In a sense,Skull and Bonesseems like it’s respecting and continuing the tradition that Ubisoft has become infamous for in the industry. This is due to the fact that it felt like a step in the right direction when it was first announced, but fans slowly started to lose faith as more details were revealed about the game. Now that it has been released and players have gotten a taste of what it offers or doesn’t, it feels like something that should’ve been expected.
Anyone familiar with Ubisoft’s recent shenanigans should’ve had no hope forSkull and Bonesto begin with.
Ubisoft Tried Connecting With Its Community a Year Ago, and It’s Back to Bite the Developer
A year ago, Ubisoft took to its X handle to connect with the community, asking its members to name that one game that they have fully completed and are proud of doing so. The developer may have wanted traction for the post when it first shared it, but it probably didn’t expect it toreturnafterSkull and Bonesmade its entrance. This led to a player replying to the question, asking the studio to name a title that it has “completed at 100% before releasing it.”
More Fans Are Piling on the Skull and Bones AAAA Hate and There’s Little to Argue Against It
Ubisoft has earned a reputation for itself, as the developer constantly launches potentially huge games with little to no substance to keep players occupied.
Where developers like Rockstar have nearly perfected the open-world genre with titles likeGTA V, the studio behindS&Bhas been throwing out massive open worlds that have barely anything worthwhile to do in them, and even if they do, it’s mostly filler content, which makes the game feel bloated and dull simultaneously.
As player criticism towards the new pirate adventure continues to reach peak levels, it’s becoming increasingly clear that one should expect nothing more than half-baked and incomplete open-world games from the company.
From Assassin’s Creed Valhalla to Skull and Bones, the Developer’s Track Record Speaks for Itself
S&Bis not the first open-world video game by Ubisoft that feels terribly unfinished, and the most recent example is easilyAssassin’s Creed Valhalla. Both games are perfect examples of the developer trying to add pointless content to fill up their open worlds with nothing fresh about the gameplay elements.
Fans Are Asking Why You’d Bother Buying Boring and Broken Skull and Bones or Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, When You Could Buy Fun, Cheaper, and More Immersive Palworld or Helldivers 2, and They Have a Point
Sure, the in-game worlds are quite huge; not many can deny that, but repetitive side quests, grindy role-playing aspects to progress, and monotonous activities do not make for an entertaining game, especially in 2024.
It is about time that the developer realizes what the fans want, which is more quality and substance than the difficult-to-achieve promises of ambitious quantity that end up ruining the experience for the majority of players.

Ever since Osama was gifted the glorious PS2 more than two decades back, video games have formed a major part of his life, ranging from spending hours playing through every single Dragon Ball game he could find to witnessing the gaming industry evolve into something extraordinary in modern times. Building his collection of PlayStation consoles throughout the years all the way up until PS5, he prefers single-player experiences like The Last of Us and Persona, while also letting off steam on a daily basis with casual EA Sports FC matches. But the current rise in online multiplayer shooters will never really appeal to his old-school self.
