  Constant issues with Ubisoft Connect prevent the game from starting up most of the time. I have successfully gotten it to start twice, but the vast majority of time it simply fails to launch due to communication issues between Ubisoft Connect and Steam. Why is it trying to communicate with Ubisoft Connect in the first place? I bought the game on Steam for a reason; I don't want to have to deal with Ubisoft's bloated, failed effort at creating a storefront. Yet they crammed it in like they always do and right now it's literally breaking the game for me due to how low-quality it is. EDIT: I am still having this problem, but constant reboots allow the game to start up occasionally. As frustrating as this issue is I can't hold it against the rest of the game. Since I'm able to reach the actual game sometimes, I suppose I should actually review it. It's great, if a bit by-the-numbers; it's not the game's fault that Ghost of Tsushima came out relatively recently and feels almost identical, but it's a reality that the setting has been done to death. Still, this is an Ubisoft open-world collectathon. You know what you're getting from it. Its production values are high and if you want an open-world collectathon set in Japan, this is about as good as Ghost of Tsushima, so flip a coin between the two or play both if you're really desperate for more. Just... be warned that like all Ubisoft games it's locked behind Ubisoft Connect, which is an awful, useless, bloated terrible piece of software that makes my blood boil with loathing towards Ubisoft as a company every time I'm forced to interact with its wretchedness. Usually I wouldn't focus so much of my review on it but given that its terribleness is actively making it difficult for me to start the game there's not much else to say.

  This game was a lot of fun, and the overall mechanics were incredibly well done. The storyline actually kept me engaged the whole way through, I ended up grinding pretty hard because I was so into it. I really appreciated how flexible the game is when it comes to playstyle; I was constantly swapping builds to keep things fresh and avoid getting bored. Now that that's out of the way, there are a few things I want to mention. I understand the Bo staff is part of the DLC, but it would’ve been so much better if there were a way to unlock it earlier in the game, rather than having to finish the entire epilogue. It’s such a great weapon, versatile posture stances and a solid variety of abilities made it one of my favorites. The pathfinding system was also a bit frustrating at times. It would send me on wild goose chases when the objective was literally just across a river or a short climb away. Also, I think the “pathfinder on” feature should default to guiding you to the nearest road or usable route when stranded instead of just saying “no path found.” I often found myself stuck in mountains or forests at night, having to scramble through trees or up steep terrain. And before you say “just fast travel”—these were unexplored areas on the map. Another issue I ran into was with the Teppo, Bow, and Kunai. They often felt buggy. I’d have my cursor directly on a target, but it wouldn’t turn red to indicate it was being recognized, which made aiming unreliable. Eventually, I gave up on using ranged weapons altogether and stuck with the Long Katana and Bo Staff. Lastly, I wish there were more interactions with allies. Once you unlock them, they basically become just another ability on cooldown. It would've been amazing to storm castles or complete major missions alongside them, similar to how it worked in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. This was my overall critique on the game, this isn't me bashing it I still had a lot of fun.

  If you're an AC fan, I can recommend this. It's in my opinion the best they've done since Syndicate, however, it suffers from the same repetitive open world that was present in Origins - Valhalla. I never managed to finish any of those, as it became way too dull, and I doubt I'll finish this one either, but it's still a fun entry to the series, maybe wait till it's cheaper.

  I gave the game a chance despite the backlash on the internet... AND I DO NOT REGRET... in my opinion this is one of the best AC games since they started with this open world format. The devs and artists did an amazing job at portraying Sengoku Jidai Japan and the amount of small details is just astounding. I mostly played as Naoe so far and the stealth gameplay and mechanics feel really good. Much better than in Valhalla or even the previous eras. If you love this era of Japan, if you love samurai and shinobi, if you are interested in learning more about Japan, their culture and want to see how it could have looked like back then... Assassins Creed Shadows is a game which wont disappoint if you give it a chance ! Personally I am glad I bought it, taking it slow and enjoying Naoes story a lot. Update: 70 hours in, I am still enjoying the game a lot.. and in addition to Naoes story, I got to experience Yasukes story as well and Its actually quite good. Anyone still doubting whether its worth to buy this game, just the storylines of both protagonists are definitely worth it and the huge, beautiful open world is just amazing. Many people compare this to Ghost of Tsushima or Ghost of Youtei, but this is a different game.. its a large scale RPG game in medieval Japan set in the years leading to Hideyoshis rise to power *not sure whether Tokugawa will play a part as well in the story*... this is a must for every samurai fanboy and fangirl.

  bro its so gooddddddd TRY IT

  Decent entry in the franchise, and definitely one of the better RPG games. Graphics are really nicely done, the seasonal/weather and lighting effects stood out the most to me. Stealth is awesome, combat feels pretty nice. Fun game. 7.5/10

  Really fun

  I would just play ghost instead. Combat in this one is really bland, feels like star wars outlaws. Story was not that good, incredibly boring parkour. If you want a game like this but good play ghost, if you want an assassins creed game that is actually good then go play ac odyssey.

  This isn't a bad game, but it's probably the worst executed AC game that I've ever played. Bad controller integration, audio drop outs requiring PC restart. Many, many areas where half of the enemies can be found inexplicably asleep face-down on the ground outside in the middle of the day. 'Recommended' gameplay settings with no obvious purpose other than to increase play time by padding out your experience wandering around looking for something stupid for no good reason. Don't bother replaying an entire castle twice because one of the two PCs isn't strong enough to push a single box three feet and find a hand fan. Historical nitpick - the main plot covers a historical period of two weeks but the game stretches it out into years and years for no reason other than to cram in bloat. Very apt, actually. I changed my mind, it is bad.

  unoptimized piece of garbage, really wanted to play this game as i don't care about the hate. but the performance is garbage.

  yasuke make no fun at all! Waste of time
