Forgotten Game
After playing "Forgotten Sands" for a number of hours, I was left without any real enthousiasm for this game. The acrobatics are decent but the game's story is simply forgettable and dull. It seems everyone at Ubisoft has forgotten what made the "Sands of Time" a good single player game. Things like a good story that motivates you and makes sense, humor, likable charters, etc. All these are missing from Forgotten Sands. What remains is a average game with almost no storytelling and stolen mechanics from the past PoP games. And much like the 2008 reboot, no heart.
I admit, the combat feels better and has been slightly improved (from 2008) but the addition of the skill tree does little to help with the games lack of a compelling plot line. The game just comes off flat. So, while the gameplay machanics are sound and there is nothing broken in the game, it just feels dull and yes, forgettable.
So, for Ubisoft, I think its back to the drawing board.
