Ubisoft

      Wow! I was so surprised when I started this post to see how many games are actually made by "Ubisoft." Best known for the "Assassin's Creed" and "Rabbids" franchise this company is also responsible for "South Park: The Fractured But Whole," "Far Cry,""Rayman Legends,"as well as other smaller titles. They also have made many video game adaptations of board games such as "Monopoly."
      "Assassin's Creed" mostly takes place in the past, so it is a little hard to judge based off of characters. From what I have played of the games, the earlier games are filled with well thought out characters who are very interesting. I don't really have much I can say about the game, besides the fact that they are fun and present interesting characters. I have heard that this goes downhill in some of the newer games though.
       The "Rabbids" series is another game that is fairly gender neutral, and in my opinion a fun franchise. I recently picked up a copy of "Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle," and the game is so much better than I could have expected. The games are well thought out and enjoyable. They are very silly, but I have always enjoyed playing them.
       The "South Park" games are of course sexist and offensive. I do not think this reflects on "Ubisoft" though. Since it is a video game adaptation of a tv show, a lot of the inappropriate comments and actions come from the source material. The game itself is fun, but relies heavily on shock value. Overall, Ubisoft does a pretty good job with their female characters. Their games are fun to play, and while they're not all my cup of tea I think that they are fun games.
