I like to micromanage my friends

I mostly play my Ubisoft Connect version, so my hours aren't accurate on Steam. I speedrun this game and have the Bloodline DLC world record at the time of writing. I 100%'ed it and I know way too much about the game's glitches.

Ubisoft really screwed up with this one. There's no main character, so you're really uninvested in the story. Yeah the game is buggy, movement is crap, and nearly all the puzzles can be cheesed with the spiderbot. However the city is really cool, and I actually feel I've learned a lot about London through playing this game.

I played the online since the beta, but there's not really much to do, and none of my friends will play co-op due to Ubisoft Connect being required. Random teammates always drop out of missions due to crashes.

I think Watch Dogs could make a comeback with a new game that doesn't use the operative mechanic, but it appears that Ubisoft dissolved the team and is going other directions.

For normies, the game is worth it for like $10, but not much more.

Great environment and a hell of a lot of fun with friends. Ran well and has great pacing for starting out.

Everything Nathan Drake touches crumbles.

But the game is perfect. It's been a long time since I've played a game that has obviously been playtested to death. This game is extremely easy to read, but still enjoyable to discover.

A classic Sniper Elite game. As a completionist, it's pretty satisfying to find all the collectibles, and you can do it with a friend, too!

A great implementation of a game that otherwise would be infeasible IRL. Just wish it had dedicated servers.

Goes back to the roots of Ace Combat 5. Fun gameplay, just wish there were more missions. Can't wait to play it in VR when I get a headset.

Lots of cheaters online, but fun in private lobbies with friends.

Can't play Premier with my friends because some have ranks and others don't. We don't have time to solo queue to earn and maintain a rank.

So we play Competitive instead, where the matchmaking is so lopsided, that you either play against cheaters, or people so much higher skill than you that their gameplay is indistinguishable from cheating. With our 50 average Leetify aim rating, we regularly play people with 80-100 aim rating; we don't stand a chance.

This wasn't a problem in CS:GO. We could queue as a 5-stack with or without ranks, and get a fair match. Now we have people playing for 6 months now that still don't have a rank on any map.

The oldest game in my Steam library and the only one I still play.
