Video isnt working for me, is there going to be another fully ramblomatic?

During one of their livestreams, he said that it would come back, though - as you said - it will be given a different name.

Question on Yahtzee's front: Will he still be doing Best/Worst/Bland games (though not worded exactly like that) at the end of the year? It's a nice wrap up for a year of reviewed games but I always found it helpful for things I may have missed that was worth checking out.

One mistake people make in discussions like this is assuming that every player has the same use case. Maybe I want to play Mirage because I enjoy the AC vibe and I don't really care for a challenge, because I've played through all the AC games and while I enjoyed stealth challenge early on, I've got the gist now and would rather just see the overall vibe/story. Or maybe I've played all the AC games and want a serious challenge from each one, and don't really care about the story. Maybe I'm new to AC and want a moderate challenge because I generally enjoy moderate challenges. Does Mirage have to meet all those needs? No, but it should be honest about what kind of game it is, rather than attempting to build a hype wave that the game will be all things to all people.

Everything being put out right now is more or less exactly the content I was looking for. Keep up the good work.

Well put. As soon as you started explaining the debate, I was thinking, "But it's both?" Which ended up being your whole point. I don't know why it wasn't more obvious to everyone. Though personally, as someone for whom the 'challenge' part of a game is less important than the 'feel like a badass' part of a game, I prefer when the 'player gets stronger' part grows a bit higher/faster than the 'game gets harder' part, rather than perfect balance. I like being given new challenges to use the new strength/abilities I get, but I do still like to feel like I'm getting relatively more powerful than the enemies, not just objectively more powerful than where I was before.
