  So this Game is just fine if you like basic but fun combat... with what we all want out of AC but this time you are a real ninja. Honestly, personally I've played 32 hours and Barely have like 15% of the map explored, but i am doing any quests and stuff I find and am just taking in all the scenery. This Game is B.E.A...utiful! it is demanding but if you can find your personal settings sweet spot you'll Enjoy the game. If you guys have watched the show Shogun, this Game Captures that shows immersion even though I do not think they are related... anyway I 100% RECOMMEND to anyone who loves Japanese stuff like myself. 9/10 doesn't get a 10/10 because performance issues do exist.

  I was skeptical about the quality of another AC game and waited for it to be on sale first. I'm actually impressed and enjoying this game more than I thought I would. I disliked Mirage, it felt so boring that I could only get to about 25% of the progression before uninstalling it. There was no level of reeling me into the story to get me hooked. Anyhow, back to Shadows, so it's another AC game with the plot mostly about revenge, helping others and recruiting a team and assassinating persons of interest. The map is massive and I'm still chipping away at discovering every little mark on the map. Maybe I'm just a sucker for feeling immersed in old Japan but I gotta say, I'm loving the atmosphere and the graphics are incredible! I admire the feeling of seasonal change in the game to keep things feeling refreshed and immersive. About every couple hours, the season changes and the surrounding vegetation and tree coloring changes. You get bright summers, to monsoon raining, autumn leaves changing and snow. There's not too much wildlife when you venture off the main roads and you cannot kill any animals which is a little lame. It seemed like all other AC games, you could kill animals, get the skins to increase your hardware capacity but meh. I do like the feel of Naoe, she's nimble, agile and you feel like a ninja with her. I don't like playing as Yasuke, he's a towering Juggernaut so he's mostly just a heavy hitting tank that can use large melee, rifles and bows. He doesn't jump well and not ninja like so whatever play style you want, that's your options. Playing on a (ROG Strix Scar 18 laptop). It runs crisp and smoothly without any hiccups with all settings maxed out. There's been a few times upon launch that there's a bug between the keyboard input isn't going through to the game, a Steam to Ubisoft bug. No big deal. I definitely rate this game 8/10. It's much better than Mirage and Valhalla combined.

  Noice

  If you want a game set in Japan, Ghost of Tsushima is significantly better. The story is lacklustre, combat feels stiff compared to other RPG games, and the world, although visually stunning, is bloated with boring and repetitive side activities. Voice acting is very disappointing, especially for a triple-a game and there is almost no motion capture.

  Sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit

  This game is very buggy and keeps freezing. I have good specs in my pc, but it still is hard to play

  30% climbing not working while i was going through 2 yasuke missions season changed 3-4 times but day/night not knowledge gaining is BORING AS F**K why you forcing me to play both characters? it's cool to add 2 different approach to play but i like assassin mode, i like stealth i don't like to play yasuke and don't want to it was so cool game first like 10h and then yasuke appeard, i'v realized that this very big map is 90% empty and every castle became boring i liked oddessy, valhala and i'm in love with japanesse story but this game is shit

  nice game...

  I have played every Assassin's Creed game and love the franchise. Ubisoft has gotten more of my money than any other gaming company. 🤣 With that being said, I love Shadows but it's not perfect. Story-(7/10) Act 1 and Act 3 are Amazing. They have some really powerful and emotional moments. Act 2 is not a story but just hunting down targets. Not bad but not memorable. The game barely mentions Templars but they are the most interesting villains in the game and franchise. I wish they would have done more. Gameplay-(10/10) Combat is fun whether you play as Naoe or Yasuke. Being able to go prone is fun and adds a whole new layer of stealth. The same is said for the weather and season/Day and Night Cycle. Characters-(5/10) Naoe, Yasuke, Junjiro, Tomiko, and Chichiue (Naoe's Father) are the only memorable characters. No one else really stands out. But the ones that stand out are well written characters. Soundtrack-(7/10) The game has some real bangers. Game Length-(8/10) I'd say that the game is about the perfect length. If they had added more templar content then the game would probably feel perfect in length. Difficulty-(7/10) I had a small learning curve but once I figured it out, the game felt easy. Grind-(7/10) Grinding for resources to upgrade the hideout can be a bit of a chore but overall not bad. Graphics-(10/10) The game has amazing graphics. The only other time I've only felt this immersed in a world was in Red Dead 2. Audio-(9/10) The audio is great. Characters felt real as did the world around you. There was the occasional audio bug but nothing bad. Price-(8/10) Worth it but the industry keeps going up on prices, soon I'll have to sell my kidney. Bugs-(9/10) 60+ HOURS AND I ONLY ENCOUNTERED ONE BUG. I did a mission that forces a weapon on you but did not have the weapon in my inventory so the game kept crashing when I attempted the mission. Audience- This is a great game for anyone who wants an open world RPG with fun combat. Whether going in guns blazing with Yasuke or being a ghost like Noae. However, if you compare every AC game to the Ezio games then you will hate it. Overall-(8/10) The game is worth the money if you can let go of nostalgia for the Ezio games. And I think it is woth every penny/minute.

  Sensational

  I knew about the drama before the game came out and i waited for it to go on sale , my review is from the POV of a working guy who doesn't have a lot of time for games anymore and this game feels like i'm coming home just to work again. I knew it wouldn't be game of the year material but not annoying to play. My rating in case you don't want to read all thatt is 5/10 for gameplay and 7/10 for the story so overall 6/10. The things that really bother me: -Locked from playing because it's day/night or not the right season. Are you kidding me? This is the most annoying thing ever in a game , we had day/night and we could change it , now it feels longer and we can't do anything about it but play it out. The same for seasons , what is the point of a change seasons button if it doesn't do anything? Change season it's the same thing as teleporting to a viewpoint or base *slowclap , innovation...just you wait legendary sumi-e i will get to you in 3 business days. -You want that nice skill? You can have it but go around and do some side activities, i'm at rank 6 and i need 16 more side stuff to get to 7 but Ubi is big braining it and if i want all achievements i need rank 10 starting from the last update, ain't nobody got time for that. -And that last point got me to "adding senseless achievements after the release" question for the devs at ubisoft , did you calculate how much time is needed for people to get level 80 and rank 10? how many new game+ do we have to do? SOME SPOILERS AHEAD!!! The story , i would say it's a 7/10 and i really wanted it to be a 10 since i like japanese culture and that's why it got up to 7, Yasuke has no point exept inclusion. He is useless for the title since he is no assassin , he is useless for the story, someone could say "well he was a slave for the Portuguese and he connected templars with Japan plus he has that Nobunaga story" Templars could just go for any reason to Japan , from trades to "we found information about an apple". If you really wanted to have 2 main characters, one of Nobunaga generals could have been a good fit , considering how things turned out in reality.

  Game will not launch on Steam. If I paid for a product, I expect it to work or get my money back; it's not complicated.
