Tbh if I get to shoot rabbids with a cool arm cannon that looks like a Bonzai Bill then that’s fine with me
Rabbids had the self-awareness of their character down in the first game with Rayman but then it slipped away in the sequel. It sort of became referenced in Rabbids Go Home as them being a menace and now it might just come back full circle with this game to being the scourge that they are.
See the thing is that I’ll give Rabbids more credit that Minions because Rabbids embraces that the character are just simple agents of chaos. Even in the second game where they were basically pushing Rayman to the side and taking advantage of the “annoying mascot” trend Minions pulled, it was always clear that they were just supposed to be weird. Minions tries to play it more like you can project any thing on to them. And that’s stupid, because they’re mostly this genderless blobs that speak some bizarro language that serve only to irritate.
I mean I get that people worry it’ll strike the same sort of complacency from Ubisoft to rely on them rather than other properties due to that Minions effect, but it never really seemed to make much of an impact. The games do alright and then people move on. They never really stick out. At worst I’d say they’re a bad cold, but I mean kids need a bit of loud obnoxious goofiness just for fun.
