Mixed feelings about this. On one hand Deck Nine have, in my opinion, produced the best LiS content of the series. On the other hand, my opinion of them has soured somewhat since the whole nazi stuff came out: https://www.ign.com/articles/how-hidden-nazi-symbols-were-the-tip-of-a-toxic-iceberg-at-life-is-strange-developer-deck-nine

It’s good, I enjoyed it; however it would be remiss of me not to point out that Ubisoft is a hateful company, run by a hateful man: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/ubisoft-has-reportedly-made-minimal-changes-following-abuse-allegations
If you liked Odyssey then I’d recommend Origins. Not played Valhalla but it’s in the same open-world vein. People rate Black Flag highly, and the Ezio trilogy, but these are more the ‘traditional’ AC games so not open world in the same way and less ARPG-like than Odyssey. The multiplayer on Black Flag is great to, but not many people playing it these days.
I guess that’s just an argument for better made apartments.
Thank you Donye, very cool!
We got greedy and people didn’t like it.
Yeah, I don’t get it when people say that the trailers look promising. It looks like a mid-tier fan film you’d find on YouTube.
What a time to be alive!

I thought BtS was excellent, better than LiS 1 in many was, but that’s partly because I liked Chloe more than Max.
