Ubisoft's sale of their games has been running for a few days, but there's still time to pick up some solid deals on their titles (more varied and well regarded than their modern open world fare, at least as far as the back catalogue is concerned) - and if you do pick up a last minute deal, here's a few mods to help get you started!
An immersive overhaul of Far Cry 3, with a focus on balance instead of brutal challenge. Auto reload is disabled, forcing players to take their arsenal more seriously; whilst ballistics and weapons, as well as the crafting systems of the game and AI encounters, have all been rebalanced to encourage careful and conservative play. Camo outfits have been added to feel like you're blending into the dangerous jungle as you stalk the island.
Experience Assassin's Creed II, a game released in 2009 with completely remastered and improved textures, visuals, character skins and effects. This project is a total texture replacement pack which aims to make the game look as beautiful and realistic as possible while keeping the original feel of the game.
This mod increases the realism of the game. All weapons received adjustments matching their real life counterparts, with most weapons now having slightly better penetration. Weight and fire rate are also more realistic, infinite pistol ammo has been taken away as a safety net, and movement values relative to the weapon being used have been adjusted for a greater choice emphasis when
Elite Counter-Terror is a modification for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 that alters how the squad artificial intelligence performs. Rainbow Six's tense squad-oriented combat is essential to the immersion these games excel at, and so any bolstering of the game's AI to produce more realistic (and competent) allies is a welcome addition.
Far Cry 4: Redux is the newest in a "Redux" line of FC mods. It's focused on immersion, and improving the original game. Far Cry 4 had the unenviable task of following up on what many consider the best game in the series, and whilst for most it fell short, those wanting something familiar might find what they're looking for in FC4: Redux, which overhauls the gameplay, fixes bugs, and streamlines the experience for repeat players.
There's our picks for five games and mods from the Ubisoft Sale, which has been running for a few days and wraps up on March 9th at 6pm UTC. There's plenty more mods across Ubisoft's titles, for the above and more - are there any you're looking at digging into? Let us know down below!
