The writer never said they haven't played the game. The said the exact opposite. They said they played the game and spent time in the character creator. So what were you reading? As a matter of fact I'm questioning if you have actually read/understood the article because they are talking about the tired, culture war comments by some people about the sexiness of the characters being a boring and derivati🎐ve disingenuous conversation that we have to have each time a game comes out these days because, a subgroup of people realized they could profit off getting people worked up over nonsense.

It's probably: AC Origins take the top spot, with MGS♉ 5 at second. Expeditions: Mudrunner in at third. (But I just realized I haven't played AC Mirage or Atlas Fallen yet so that might change things.) And then Mad Max and Journey at 4 and 5 respectively. Honorable mentions to Sable and Kenshi.
