I'd like to think I've matured with age but then on weekends I watch cartoons and eat too much sugar cereal in my pajamas so if anything I've stayed the same.

I really don't know what you like in video games sometimes, girl.
Neither do I but I know it when it happens.
After beating Persona 4 Golden when it was first released on Steam I went back to Persona 3 FES. beat it's main story, The Journey
Ah, you're playing the good nu-Persona game!
I finally found something I genuinely love in Ghost of Tsushima and I wish the whole game was just that but then the game would just be For Honor so never mind.
SWTOR is on Steam now so maybe it's time to get back on that horse
Honestly yes if for no other reason that Origins and then Odyssey effectively splintered the fanbase anyway with people who don't like the new direction. I can't speak to Valhalla but Origins at least had the story build to the creation of the Assassin's so the name fits there but Odyssey predates Origins and basically has to hardsmash its way into the series canon that it probably would've been better off just being its own thing.

Do you not think they do the same thing with AC (and Watchdogs)?
I think you can draw similarities between pretty much any given open world game, Ubisoft or otherwise, but ever since Far Cry 3 the focus has been on the eccentric villain while the tone has whipped back and forth with no regard for consistency. Having to spend the early parts of Far Cry shooting animals so you can carry more than a rock and a flower is asinine. Assassin's Creed has at least attempted to add something new with every entry - whether or not that's been successful is up to the individual - and with Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla they are fundamentally different games than everything that came before. They offer different experiences from each other but similar within the context of their own franchises.
Far Cry 3 was a pretty different sort of experience from Far Cry 2 but 4, Primal, 5, New Dawn, and even probably 6 have all just been cut from the cloth of 3. Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey share the name but at this point they're far removed from everything else that they might as well be called new games. Yeah, you climb things in both but climbing things is as much a part of Assassin's Creed as it is, like, Uncharted.
Watch Dogs hasn't had as many entries but it's already got an identity problem but other than the fact that it, too, is an open world I wouldn't say the philosophy behind it is the same as Far Cry which have all felt the same since 3 down to the focus being on the villain over anything else.
SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI NOCTURNE REMASTER IS HAPPENING FUCK EVERY OTHER GAME
Because you are angling for a job at Ubisoft's PR team. And I'm still plenty young, auntie.
What can I say, they've got good benefits. They'll put out the same games every few years and all I'll have to do is pretend like Far Cry hasn't been chasing the lightning in a bottle of 3 that has since dominated the design philosophy of its open world games.
Also they'll probably take anyone at this point, they could use some good PR of late.
I suppose if it wasn't 4th game in a row glorifying the 'troubled dad' trope that seemed to dominate media of the 2010s, I'd think it was less shit...but still probably not good.
The problem with game directors getting older and becoming dads is now gruff dad protagonists learning that it's okay to have emotions are a quick and easy way to garner points for 'Wow what a deep character!'. As an action game it doesn't hold a candle to its peers or even itself but I bought into the story enough even if Kratos is still the big lame and always will be.
