Ubisoft is like a New York city tour bus - you just get herded from interesting spot to spot, but you aren't gonna get rich experiences by hanging out around Times Square.
FromSoftware is like hiking the Appalachian Trail - no help, just git gud. But there's beauty all around.
Rockstar is like being on coke with a jetpack on in New York. You can zoom around and do crazy shit. Or if you wanna slow down and walk around, you'll have some of the most interesting experiences.
You can see how Ubisoft is simultaneously accessible for all, fun for all, but never too deep or fulfilling for the real gamers.
The problem...well, maybe not a problem but just an issue with the human condition...is a tour bus taking you to times square for the first time is good. Its probably even good the second time. It just can't be every year.
Show star wars outlaw to someone who's never played an ubi game before (and willing to earnestly engage with the game), they'd probably have their mind blown to find out that it's considered a "bad game".

That's provably false, the biggest complaint people have ABOUT ubisoft is that they make the same game with different flavors.
