1.) Star Wars Outlaws (4/10)

You can say it's on me for trusting "UbiSlop" to truly deliver on the open-world Star Wars promise, but the most disappointing aspect is it's filled with kernels of potential.  Like, Massive actually put in the work to tweak certain fundamentals that could've lead to a commendable game.  The stealth emphasis was also an inspired choice that fit within this context.  But they fumbled the bag.

2.) Open Roads (5/10)

Some people may revile walking sims altogether, but I think Gone Home and Tacoma are some of the genre's better examples.  Open Roads simply doesn't measure up by comparison.  There are some inspired concepts here and there, but it ultimately feels inconsequential.  

Never have expectations for an Ubisoft, EA or Activision game and you'll not be disappointed. 

What can I say?  I'm only human.
