Honestly, I'm tired of people "defending" Ubisoft titles with saying you shouldn't expect. I imagine that making a game for this company must begin with about societal issues, developing the idea and gameplay around it, and then decide at the last that you need to lobotomize the story while leaving everything exactly as it is.
It's like playing a heavily researched, near 1:1 visual representation of the rape of Nanking but with every single asian character without distinction of nationality looking like a japanese racist charicature supeakingu rike dis! and making the main villain an Unit 731 japanese joker
