Requires Ubisoft launcher, which causes various issues for me. Rayman Origins does not require it.

EDIT: Was able to get Ubisoft Launcher working in combination with Steam Link, so some updates.

Positives:
* Game is beautiful
* Good platformer
* Kung Foot is a fun, although simple, mini game

Negatives/Annoyances:
* A lot of content is no longer accessible due to requiring servers that Ubisoft shut down a few years ago.
* Various notifications that you can't get rid of because they are telling you to go do daily/weekly challenges, which you can't do due to requiring the servers. They really should update the game to not display those notifications as a QoL improvement -- or better, provide a way to actually do them by either turning the servers back on or providing a locally hostable version.
* There's a challenges portrait/level that I accidentally trigger, which requires the online service. It takes a bit to timeout and you can't cancel it. So anytime I accidentally select it, the game just freezes until it times out. Again, QoL improvement would be to disable accessing this or make it cancellable.

Issues/bugs:
* Controller mapping is wonky even when trying to use Steam Input mapping of controllers. Sometimes it remembers the custom mapping, sometimes not. I've had best luck using PS5 controller. XBox required remapping every time I tried.
* Game plays in slow motion if in full screen (but I don't think is consistent). I don't mean it's a low framerate (although it may be), I mean it's like the game is in slow motion. You move slowly and when you jump, you stay in the air way longer than you should, etc. If I switch out of full screen it plays fine. I don't know if this is a quirk of my setup: Steam Big Picture mode accessed via Steam Link on an NVidia Shield or what. I just tried it on my desktop directly rather than via Steam Link and it played normal speed, so YMMV.


While it's a fun game, I don't recommend it due to not wanting to reward Ubisoft for removing content from a game after purchasing (but wasn't able to play due to the Ubisoft launcher issues I had) / providing no mechanism for people to access that content post shut down / self hosting the server.
