It turned pressure into routine and stripped the platforming of the razor-edge stakes the sequence was as soon as well-known for. And whereas the one-on-one duels had aptitude, the entire experiment proved to be an evolutionary lifeless finish. Only a lovely cul-de-sac Ubisoft explored with gusto earlier than quietly reversing out of.
