I disagree regarding Ubisoft Worlds. Both Origins and Oddessey are breathtaking. The detail and scale is mind-blowing. I loved HZD and thought it very pretty. The games are different but Ubisoft recent open worlds are fantastic. Origins has a very cool explore mode that was highly rated too.

I'd say the further into the game and the more I have explored the more impressive it has become. Athens, in particular, was amazing.

I was also pleasantly surprised that combat, puzzles and tasks vary region to region.

Black Flag was previously my favourite, but it was very same and I actually found some parts of the game disturbing, like Whaling and other hunting.
