If I have to look at this objectively, I would say that the price for a single game is steep.
But I would also note that (hopefully) it will be a full game, with all content at launch with DLCs being an optional bonus rather than essential part of the game.
Meanwhile if you look to other games in the AAA space, they charge up to £70 for the basic game, then a bunch of "Deluxe Editions" which in Ubisoft's case can go as high as £120 and then they contain Microtransactions and/or DLCs that should have been in the core experience.
Essentially, MK World is steep, and is the beginning of a new price trend (GTA6 rumours notwithstanding) but people have not actually seen the actual game in full, to truly determine whether it's worth the price tag.
So maybe save the shouting for then, should the game fail to meet what is expected of the high price?
I would have have started with having Lvl 2, 3 etc Echoes replacing their previous counterpart.
Personally once I I have a Lvl2 type monster echo I feel I have no real reason to go back to the previous iteration. As a result I have a bunch of Lvl1 echoes taking up space on the menu.
I realise that it sort of goes against the whole open ended nature of the gain as you could find Lvl2 echoes before finding the Lvl1 but it's my very basic suggestion.
@teoulas admittedly I got to the part where it said I need to log in, I pressed B as I thought it was optional but it took me back to the start screen, didn't realise I'd have to start the process in order to skip it! 🤣
Say what you will but I uninstalled the demo after I found I could not play it without a Ubisoft account.
I already am not a fan of having to register for an account to play a game and feel it should be optional and clear about it's perks like in Baldur's Gate 3 (there is an obvious exception for online only multilayer games.)
But I am very much against having to register an Ubisoft account to play a demo. I mean if I played the game and found it wasn't for me, then Ubisoft still has my details for marketing. As if enough companies didn't have that already.

Thanks for the advice

Unsure how any game other than Metroid Dread could top the list?
