Assassins Creed Origins was a pretty entertaining game and the time off from the yearly releases of the franchise seems to have given it a good change of perspective by adapting more RPG elements to their tired Ubisoft openworld formula... and honestly the results were pretty good
Now that Assassins Creed Odyssey has turned more and more into a proper Action RPG rather than just using giving it a coating of xp quirks it made me reflect; from the usual assortment of open world games which one would you like to get the same treatment as the Assassins Creed series?
For me the option would easily be the good but not great Mad Max game from 2014; the odd locations you could run into in a simple scrap quest were pretty fantastic and just screamed for proper storylines and sidequest options, the game had very few random “quests” like destroying a local enemy hideout or looking for a ungrade part for your car which was good to great but very undeveloped... the car combat was damn fantastic btw but the reality is that beneath very repetitive gameplay that setting was perhaps the best developed apocalyptic setting since New Vegas
