Amazing game! I've never enjoyed a puzzle game so much. It comes with a bunch of incredibly interesting challenges:

First of all, right after starting the game from your Steam library, the game opens Ubisoft's launcher because even though we clearly bought the game from Steam, who would want to have the majestic and unsurpassed games of Ubisoft mixed with the awful games of other companies? And you don't even have to manually install the launcher, because Ubisoft installs it for you without asking when installing the game! Now this is true comfort and attention to detail.

Then, the real fun begins. You have to create an Ubisoft account. If you can't remember if you've already had created one, try logging in with your usual password, if you have one. If that didn't work, press "Can't log in" and reset your password. I repeated this step three times until realizing I didn't have an Ubisoft account and the app didn't intend to tell me, just kept telling me to check my inbox. Wise mind game!

And now, the first challenge of the game appears: you've gotta create a password with the most absurd and convoluted requirements you've ever seen before. In my case, it took me five attempts to solve this puzzle. With a bit of luck, you'll be able to finish creating your account.

Next, the application will ask you to introduce your CD key or activation code. You'll have to use your investigative skills to figure out what the hell the CD key is, probably ending up following Ubisoft's own instructions for locating your activation key on Steam, just to find out they ask you to navigate through menus that don't even exist.

By this point, your computer technician skills will have you rebooting your computer. And after starting the app again, surprise! It doesn't ask you to introduce any code. Brilliant!

After that, you'll witness an epic fourth-wall breaking scene: the game's opening cinematic will play and it'll begin to randombly switch between your first and second monitor. Thereafter, your next objective will be to go to settings to prevent your PC from burning up since FPS limit is disable by default (wise decision, bearing in mind that the default options "adjusted to your computer's capabilities" won't give you more than 50 stable FPS), just to find out that when changing any setting from the first submenu of just the video section, the other settings will randomly change as well. Your final challenge will be to somehow get your desired settings and finally get a decent and stable performance test.

Oh, and after that there's some kind of adventure minigame about a cult or something like that. Pretty boring, not gonna lie. It's the game's only flaw. However, when you pause it, there are ads of the other titles in the franchise, so it's not that bad.

I'd give this game a thumbs up, but my monitor is flipped down, so unfortunately I have to give this masterpiece a thumbs down.
