  I enjoyed the game until I had the pleasure of fighting the Oni. A random red mist stun and and a random teleport kick -> insta dead. No defense or options to avoid it. I spent 30min on that map and decided it wasnt worth it anymore. Its a complete stone wall for the rest of the game and it was boring, random and made me stop playing.

  i like ninja

  Cannot Recommend this game at the moment, latest Win 11 update KB5066835 has obliterated performance on many machines, and if you can't roll it back, this game is unplayable slop.

  Claws of Awaji was the best part of this game

  In my opinion this game is a straight downgrade from Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Assassin's Creed Odyssey (I slept on Mirage so I have no frame on reference to that game, since it didn't seem all that interesting to me). Splitting all equipment and abilities between Naoe and Yasuke was a mistake in my eyes, I'd much rather have one character that can use it all, like Eivor or Kassandra in previous entries. When getting loot rewards, it feels absolutely awful when you realize that the item you got is exclusive to the character you don't plan on playing unless the game locks and forces you into playing it to progress the game (Which it has done, much to my annoyance). I despise the Knowledge system, it is an entirely arbitrary system used to lock you from getting perks in the skill trees by forcing you to do annoying and repetitive mini "games" (If you can even call them that, since some just amount to: Go here, press a button, wait 10 seconds for an animation to finish, repeat two more times.) to be able to get enough Knowledge poins to unlock incrementing Knowledge tiers (Knowledge is a separate measure to experience, which just makes it even dumber in my eyes that this system exists). Dialogue choices feel pretty meaningless and without consequence. You say X, the NPC replies with Y, and if moves onto Z, and even if you had picked A instead of X, the NPC would just say B and move onto Z anyways. The armor and weapons you get are all pretty lackluster visually, because obviously all the interesting designs are locked behind the cash shop in this singleplayer game, you just get four or five armor models and the way they make the illusion of having more is by spamming random retextures (Many of which in my opinion are gaudy or just plain ugly). As for the weapons you get a few blades or hilts, etc. and they randomly put two together when dealing out rewards, along with some retextures of the same things. Overall, I regret my purchase of this game, and I would refund it if I could. I really tried to enjoy it, but as it is now I definitively recommend skipping this game. Which is a shame because I am a fan of the recent AC games, especially Valhalla, with it being tied for my favouite AC game alongside Revelations. The game just feels like a slog compared to past entries.

  Not the best story and it has its flaws but v1.1.1 fine tuned it for the better now. Ge this on discount only.

  I haven't played an Assassin's Creed, with any real effort, since the very first one. I've always written them off as "not for me", as they often cater to a very particular niche of players. That said, this one is quite enjoyable. The setting, the environments, the main characters, and all of the surrounding characters make it quite an engaging experience. I definitely recommend Assassin's Creed Shadows.

  I really enjoyed this japan story, beautiful graphics and a lot of things you can do including such as painting animals or the mountains, recruit scouts and obviosly the side quests and besides that there's a lot more. If you are into new AC games and japan then i recommend this game for you

  Uplay as a client is so broken that not even the automatic key activation works for me, so I cannot even play. That's terrible even by Ubisoft standards. Valve needs to act and enact a stricter ban on flawed 3rd party game launchers.

  so far im leaving this review at two hours but will change it if my opinion changes. My first major issue is NEEDING the game to be on an SSD for the cutscenes to be able to play. There should be no reason my OFFLINE GAME buffers every two seconds in cutscenes when i can play games like rivals and cyberpunk on a mechanical just fine. now lets move onto the actual gameplay. the movement is shoddy at best, my computer can barely run medium graphics settings when i could play Valhalla on Ultra. there should be no reason this game is that much more of a load on my system than the one that came out like two years prior. I dont like being forced to go through three separate combat tutorials, as well as the super boring needing to walk places that could've just been a cutscene. I was really excited for this game, specifically because of the very realistic black samurai lore that could've been made, but the whole story is just bland as hell. truly upsetting Edit: as I have played more i noticed a few things. For starters they really enjoy time jumping, no idea why we cant play good ol chronological order but maybe thats just me. the combat is very different from any ac game, enemies hit a lot harder, have a lot more armor, and the bigger enemies attack more like dark souls enemies with decently delayed attacks. you're a lot weaker, both health/defense and strength wise, and the enemies can hit you even in dodging. i did a whole flip and got 180 quickscoped by some npc. i dont think im gonna be changing my review but i paid money for this game so i'll see it through. i get we dont want remakes but the feeling i got from AC 3 & 4 is not the same i feeling from the last few games. plus i bought something in the credit shop with the free creds and it didnt tell me i NEEDED the dlc in order to use it so im salty about that.

  if your looking to play a game and lose the sins of realty this is it.
