The graphics have been updated in the same way 989 Studios updated graphics in the PS1 era. Ubisoft's RPG lite mechanics, particularly from AC, have been tacked on for what seems like no reason. The story is just as "meh" as it was in Wildlands. I can't possibly complain enough about the always online play, especially when servers drop and I'm just trying to solo a mission. HOWEVER, the gameplay is super fun. Feeling like a badass, I'm moving from outpost to base to laboratory to...whatever, and having a great time. Co-op makes it even better. My little brother, who got me playing Wildlands, has been an awesome teammate all over Auroa, and it's clear that is just how this was meant to go. With a few changes to the online requirement and some serious bug fixing, this will be game of the year.
