  As a fan of RPG games, I decided to give AC Shadows a chance. I've played Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla, and I can say that this game is improved in terms of graphics, gameplay and especially combat, but it failed to deliver a consistent and satisfying story. I feel that the game lacks soul; it tries so hard to connect the woke tropes of diversity, equity and inclusion with the Buddhist tropes of suffering, compassion and enlightenment, that it ends up feeling more like a lecture than a lived experience. Instead of letting the Japanese themes emerge naturally through the characters and world, the narrative constantly reminds you of its woke western moral intentions. This breaks immersion and weakens what could have been a deeply personal journey. The problem is made worse by the cutscenes, which are stiff and awkward, with poor motion capture and lifeless facial expressions that strip away any emotional weight. Even in immersion mode, the voice acting feels flat and disconnected. The characters often act as mouthpieces for ideas rather than as believable people shaped by their circumstances. Beneath all of this, you can sense the potential for something, but it gets buried under a plainly bad storytelling; maybe if the narrative was linear it could be slightly better. It’s a real pity, because the artists and environment designers have done a phenomenal job crafting an immersive, living Japan that begs to be explored, yet the narrative fails to make that world feel alive. It’s as if the writers completely let down the incredible work of the visual and design teams, leaving players with a breathtaking setting that deserves a far better story to match its beauty.

  Don’t, just don’t. Steam Deck user here. Verified badge: not at all. The game simply doesn’t run past the franchise intro…. I had to watch it several times and God, please, turn that shit off. Game boots, runs the franchise intro then tells you it’s running on a HDD (which is wrong for the Steam Deck). It says I have 18 minutes of playtime: it’s 18 minutes of verifying files, running different protons, all with the same result. ProtonDB has the same: no longer works but once was. It’s like a history book! Kind of a bummer, I was looking forward to play it with all of the QoL but my guess is Ubisoft really enjoys having their reputation destroyed after releasing buggy DLC or updates that don’t cover the basic issues. My advice: Don’t buy it. If you did, refund it like I will. If you have played it for a while and can’t anymore? Steam might still provide a refund if the issue is on Ubisoft side. Cheers 🫡

  Perhaps I am missing something here, I only just got my hideout. The story is fun enough, though it does feel like the same game that has been recycled since Origins. The characters are quite charming, no notes there. The combat looks like it would be fun. However, the issue is that the the game runs worse than hotdog water. I have everything on the lowest settings and the game stops to think for several minutes whenever I take more than a few steps. I am running on the lowest settings with a good computer build that is only two or three years old. I did see a recent Windows 11 update was causing issues, but I have uninstalled the Copilot app that was apparently causing issues. Because of running so poorly and dropping my settings, a lot of the world and models don't render, the combat is a slideshow that only plays after hits are applied, it has ps2 load times between each cutscene, and I have spent more time waiting on the game to load than I have spent actually playing. This looks like a game I would really enjoy, but so far, I can't even play the game. It feels like Ghost of Tsushima but bad. It looks worse, plays worse, loads worse, etc. Is there something I am missing? Has anyone else had these issues?

  100% Worth the $40 on sale. Overall, a 7.6 for me. The man-baby crying hate mob is going to clown-emoji the hell out of me for this take, but this game is one of the prime examples of why you cant always listen to modern outrage. Its a trend to just bandwagon on hate. Is it perfect? No. Is it repetitive at times? Yes. Its an assassin's creed game. No one complained about the old games where ALL fights could be won by holding the counter button. And even THEN, i enjoyed it. This games fight loop is about patterns and reactions. Missing them or becoming too cocky will result in a humbling ass kicking. I enjoy it a lot WHEN IT WORKS. A few times, the camera would become incooperative. The counter attacks rely on a glowing spark that only appears when the enemy is in your vision. If you get stuck against a wall, the camera may make that impossible. Additionally, not all functions always work when they should. I've found myself trying to escape after an assassination, end ended up dying because my character chose to press herself against the wall instead of climb it. A bit of jank to this game. Ive always wanted a Japanese assassin's creed and so far, im really enjoying it. My main complaint is the traveling. But other than that, Its the most fun I've had since origins. I recommend playing the JP dub. Hilarious the number of people bxtching about authenticity and playing the English dub in the first place. It's no Ghost Of Tsushima, the better samurai game... but if I wanted to play Ghost of Tsushima, I'd just go play Ghost of Tsushima.

  SSS

  TLDR: This game in this current state is actually unplayable, not just annoying or frustrating but impossible to play without constant locking up, freezing and needing to re verify game files just to play for 30min, no current fix, issue present more then 6mths, multiple updates and paid dlc being released. Will Update review if issue is ever fixed. I have spent more time trying to troubleshoot a issue then playing the game itself. My NVME SSD randomly going from an average 2-5% usage to locking up the game at 100%. There are several threads online with pc gamers trying to solve this issue and even Ubisoft reps posting "workarounds" that at best solve the issue temporary and at worse is proof they have no real intentions on fixing this issue. This game ironically has the chance to turn around the bad faith in the community for Ubisoft but apparently they rather sell us more cut content as DLC even after dozens if not hundreds of reports logged about an issue like this that breaks the player experience. Greed is one thing, Greed and incompetence from the business end of a company is something much harder to ignore. My specs 5070Ti 7800X3D 32GB Ram nvme SSD I also have a background is sofeware troubleshooting and tech support.

  Solid game

  Amaazing game too bad I CANT PLAY IT! Everytime i go to play ubisoft kicks me out even t5hough i save the info EVERY time. Now i cant reset my ubisoft password after so many times and now im permanently kicked out of my game!!!! Previously i could spend 15-20 minutes trying to get into ubisoft to let mwe reset my password but it wont let me anymore. Ubisoft you are horrible horrible people for logging mee out everytime i dont play for a week. You are awful for not letting steam just exist you just had to take my money and then take my ability to play away to. i wish i wasnt so poor i would sue your a**!!! EVERY time i come back im logged out of ubisoft no matter how many times you make me remake my password and ask to save my password just for it to have been a lie. now i cant even play AT ALL because i am somehow locked out of my ubisoft after reseting my password for the millionth time. just awful awful humans you are horrible people you shouldd be ashamed of your practices taaking so much of my time away from me so many times just to make it impossible to pplay. i tried reseting 2 step auth AGAIN and got locked out of it. absolutly ridiculous no horrendous company and human beings. steam you shouldnt associate with someone that removes our ability to play games we paid you for so many times and let them take so much of our time away and completely take away the want to play. so sick of going to play and not being able to and when i try it takes FOREVER and i give up. maybe i wil switch to world of warcraft it may be more $ but at least id be able to play the game. so disgusted words cant describe how dispicable this is

  Definitely the worst assassins creed yet. Unfortunately for me I am an ac addict and will buy this garbage if they keep making it.

  This game is an absolute disappointment, they've managed to make it the most boring than any of new AS origins games, bravo. The key for that is to take all previous mechanics, and cut their functionality. Take side quests, and make them exactly the same. Oh and of course to increase the number of towers to visit, which will barely display map's secrets. And in the end, make it it look uglier than AS Odyssey, which was pretty bad, and obviously it couldn't even each Valhalla level visuals. Story and characters are just something they never bothered to work on, their fate is not interesting at all, you actually try to let them die as they definitely deserve it. If you are not going to buy this game, good, you won't loose anything at all. I wouldn't if I had a choice.

  Absolutely fantastic. Plays the the RPG trilogy which is great since Origin and Odyssey are really the best games of the series if you ask me(Vahalla is meh}. The story is a little lacking overall as it did feel smaller and didn't have any monsters be some how connected to a to the ISU like in Odyssey and those are some of the most fun fights. I don't understand the Yasuke hate, He is a pretty great character and I wish would get a follow up game with him not just being a Tamplar hunter but an actually Assassin. He has such great conversations in game and such a good story too.
