I liked them both but I hear what you're saying. The newer games feel less assassin focused and strictly action-adventur-ey with spectacular moves and finishers and such.
I've always enjoyed these games even though I admit they're very formulaic and generic.

I totally understand that; PS5 is a must-buy for me and I don't even have to think about it. We're in the same column. I can't do without Sony's exclusives.
When it comes to Xbox it's more of a 'hmm' as opposed to must-buy, though I know I'll be getting both as I enjoy both.
Well, Odyssey took place in Egypt which is part of Africa and Asia so take comfort in that.
Exactly what myself and many others wanted.
I'm happy.
I don't think it's a shot at Richard, but it's kind of a silly question to ask.
Who 'doesn't' want to know the specs of the next consoles?
Quite a normal curiosity.
Plenty of greats, but Ori hands down for me.
Hollow Knight a close second.
"Sony knows exactly what it's doing with the PS5 logo."
What exactly have they done with the PS5 logo other than simply present it?
Is there some covert genius I've failed to pick up on here?
"I’m not saying Sony is being cunning or anything but more they give just enough at just the right time to keep themselves at the top of the conversation and it’s just a repeat of what has happened before."
Sony doesn't have to do much.
PlayStation is such a powerful name that even low-aggression marketing isn't really necessary. It's so popular, so widely known, and so storied, and frankly so loved that marketing is barely necessar...
"It feels like Microsoft is wielding a machete, brute force. While Sony is using a scalpel, pure precision."
See, that's not my takeaway.
The whole cards-close-to-the-chest, chess master, precision scalpel thing - I'm not seeing it. I'm just seeing a silent Sony, and do you know what? That's OK. That's fine - I personally don't need any revelations yet, though a console and controller reveal would be nice.
"It is a logo. This is getting silly"
Agreed.
"I'm just not going to put a lot of weight into the success/failure factor of this logo reveal."
That'd be rational and wise.
"Are you seeing the same people "grousing and complaining" one minute that you see "praising" the next?"
Yes.
People are grousing and complaining about what they interpret as "puff pieces" for the new Xbox, yet they see nobility in an article praising the PS5 logo as a point of dominance?
Unreal.
This is a silly argument even when viewed from all possible angles.
While it's good that Sony stuck to tradition with the font allowing for no confusion, I think it's a little silly to bring up as a point of "dominance."
People 'could' be blowing up this logo silliness to compensate for what Sony hasn't done, which is reveal anything exciting in regards to PS5. Do they necessarily need to? No - the prospect of PS5 is exciting...
Oh.
Exciting times ahead.
Seriously.
They've been legendary for quite some time now, and TLOU2 will instill that status further.
Oh they're a ways away from reaching Sony's top tier, but they're building up their studios and that's of course a good thing.
Looking forward to the future with both PlayStation and Xbox.
People liked it and it sold?
Just end it.
Let MW be the last one.
Plot twist; this was all made in Dreams.
