  best shinobi game

  This one is between Yes and No actually. Shadows is a gorgeous game with fluid parkour animation without clipping, but it is fundamentally confused about its own mythology from the very start. Our supposed new Assassin, Naoe, jas the Hidden Blade just like that but acting in the story as if she's never heard of the Brotherhood or its tenets. It's an utterly baffling narrative decision; she's building some rogue league detached from centuries of established lore and driven purely by personal vengeance. Worse, after slogging through eighty hours of Animus data, there is virtually zero connection to the Order/Templars, the Hidden Ones/Assassins, or the precursor Isu civilization. The narrative itself takes an absolute age to get moving. It took me thirty hours before I've met Diego ( a second PC). Thank goodness the mandatory dual-protagonist setup clearly favors Naoe, offering the true stealth the series demands. Her fluid shinobi approach to infiltration and refined kills is the superior, most satisfying gameplay loop. The other bloke's mandated "trainwreck everything" style is tiresome and repetitive, making him feel like an obligatory distraction. Ultimately, this title is more 16th-century Japan simulator than global historical conflict. The core struggle is absent, but if you can tolerate the narrative vacuum, Naoe provides a top-tier assassination experience.

  so awesome

  After playing over 90 hours, I couldn't enjoy a minute of thid hot garbage, don't play itttt

  I kinda felt like a lot of this game was just decent at best so long as you're playing exactly as intended; may god help you if you spurn the beaten path. This is the first game I've ever player where I had to fight the atrocious topology, exploring is such a pain because so much of the open world is dense foliage and steep hills, I really feel like you're just supposed to let your horse auto-navigate everywhere and at that point why bother having an open world? I kinda like that your primary abilities are divided between two separate characters with opposite play-styles, even if switching between them is a pain. The skill trees felt motivating enough but I don't think that anything could convince me that AC needed a level system, and I've hated it since Syndicate. I don't think any of the characters really appealed to me in any particular way and the English voice acting was really spotty on several supporting characters, which is something I don't usually notice but it stuck out this time. I generally hate rolled loot and this game was no exception, I'm not even sure as to why it is in the game in the first place since legendary gear is so abundant but I did enjoy the modular weapon cosmetics customization. I only played the base-game and I found it to be surprisingly barren of cool supernatural stuff aside from a single ghost in one quest-line and an underwhelming DBD crossover. Why pick old japan if you're afraid to even touch yõkai? Like at least give me a woman in the mountains with several suspicious statues or a beaked turtle with a receding hairline. This game suffers from stability issues and at times makes performing simple actions difficult or impossible, for instance I couldn't sprint for the first 20 hours of my playthrough because I rebound the controls but still had ability 2 on r1+r2 and I guess the game didn't like there being too many buttons bound to r1. I fixed the issue by binding ability 2 to X+r2, which it should have been by default IMO, 4/10 just play AC Valhalla, it goes on sale for way cheaper
