Had the thought yesterday that Ubisoft is sitting on so many Bangers for multiple Niches. R6 is in between an Arcade game and a Tactical Competitive Game, curious to see where it’ll turn with X.
They have Trackmania which has like 70.000 People paying 20$ a Year to play the game and one of the best racing games on the market.
They have the best Medieval Fighting game (In my personal opinion) With For Honor and the “Art of War” tech that they under-utilize
Yet when it comes to the biggest markets they are crashing with their Far Cry’s at every sauce.

I think R6 is very far from an arcade game.
I actively played R6 and Overwatch for a while and then stopped. After a pause, coming back to Overwatch was no problem; below Master pretty much everyone is playing casually. Coming back to R6 however, was overwhelming. Everyone is playing strategically optimally, you have to play a lot, follow the meta, and be very focused to be able to play in mid to high ranks.
At least that’s my experience. R6 is not what I consider an arcade game.
There are a lot of Ubisoft games I would buy in a heartbeat if Ubisoft didn’t own them, which is kind of hilarious to me in a way given the narratives around why large corporations are supposedly better at creating widely popular games.
