Games That Saved Their Genre?

Black Flag. The previous AC games were gradually getting less and less fun and more glitchy, especially 3, but then Black Flag came out of nowhere, stunning many of us and turning people not fans of the series (like me) into huge fans of open world games like that. Then they changed genres to a more RPG style for Origins and Odyssey and forgot about Black Flag until announcing Skull and Bones and subsequently not doing anything with that since announcement. Super annoying.

Skull & Bones is still on schedule for next financial year they say (April 2021-March 2022).

It was announced years ago. The game doesn't need a 7 year development cycle. They clearly sat on it not knowing what to do.
