  What an absolutely stunning game AC Shadows is, i'm only level 29 so far, but i'm also a recent purchaser of the game, and i am not disappointed. Wasn't sure at first about 2 playable characters, but they lend to each other very well, with two very different main strengths. The story as told for both characters is lovely and really you feel a good bond to your characters and indeed other main story characters you also meet. I ended up re-watching the 47 Ronin because of this game, i'm that enthused. Anyway.. digress = off. This game has recreated japan during a particularly point in history for your characters and the world crafting is simply beautiful, with a soundtrack that you just want to play louder. The combat i think took a bit of getting used to again for me but once i had certain skills picked up i had a much easier time playing. This game scores highly for me, i've never been snobby and over fussy, i just know a good game when i play one and shadows ticked so many boxes :) Thank you Ubisoft for finally helping me to scratch my far-east itch with AC Shadows.

  Don't fu**ing buy even on sale(or must be really cheap if I gonna recommend to try this), it's a waste of money af and I speak from gameplay and flow of story not from woke sh*t or color samurai. I'm not gonna use more of my time to write sh** in this review cuz it not worth my time and if you really want to know what I think just DM me or just go look for online review. In short, go buy AC brotherhood or black flag or syndicate

  Bug without fixing

  Having played every AC game to date I have mixed feelings about shadows but probably wouldn't recommend it to most people. Things that are good -Combat is fun and surprisingly active when using Naoe. -The world is beautiful -Better stealth mechanics -Sweet flips n shit The Bad -The voice acting makes me cringe at times -The story is bland and forgettable almost immediately -Its still just "climb this tower to uncover the map and take over this fortress/base" -Yasuke feels pretty much useless compared to Naoe -They got rid of climbing on a bunch of surfaces, so where you could have climbed over an obstacle in the past, now you have to run around it. Thats not fun. Its tedious. -The camera inside of buildings is bad. It was clearly designed for outside use like the other games, but there are so many interiors throughout this game I'm constantly annoyed when I go indoors and its viewing angle is awful. Buy it on sale for 50% off or more and I think its an "ok" purchase. $70 for this game feels like a rip off since theres absolutely nothing new or really innovative to see here. I dont think I'm ganna end up beating this one. I really can't believe they finally did ninjas though and this is what we ended up with. Way to biff it ubisoft

  Its pretty good aye

  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

  its nice

  Best Assassin´s Creed so far i love the japanese theme, some moven´s coud be improved but overall great! Only bad thing is that some story or stuff like the tea ceremony is not accurately implemented.

  Busywork, the video game. I have a lot of hours in AC titles in the past, and have loved them, but I am having the hardest time getting through this one. It's just open map, select marker, run to marker, do repetitive boring activity. There's barely any game in my video game. Not to mention I spend most my time waiting for the UI to load after the map opens, or in dialogue/shop UI, because the game is so poorly optimised. No other AC has been this bad with such issues. Audio desyncing in cutscenes, character animations being so poor they're on par with early 2000s games, the camera getting stuck on every little object in combat (with no occlusion?). It has some positives. A gorgeous world, lots to learn about the era/region, a decent combat system. But after a while, you see the same copy-pasted assets, the same copy-pasted enemies, the same copy-pasted gameplay. It's just so uninspired and sloppy. The game 100+ gigabytes, yet it feels so hollow. Ubisoft does not do well with characters and story, and that would be OK, if they didn't feel like they had to include it in every aspect of their games. Stop trying to make the characters likeable when the story shoves them to the side to focus on these mysterious organisations you know nothing about. I will say, I really enjoyed Yasuke's flashback scenes, the only time I found myself actually paying attention to what people were saying/doing in the game. But then they write dialogue as if you know these characters and are their best friends. Why am I calling Tomiko family after having two sentences worth of dialogue with her? It's bizarre. There was no creative direction, or goal in mind for the development. It was just "the same stuff we've done before, but Japanese flavoured!". Not to mention the whole 'two characters' system, which is so badly handled. The UI for managing them both is slow and unwieldy. The world is designed for them both to explore it, yet switching between them has a loading screen??? When the rift sections let you switch between them seamlessly??? It makes no sense. I'm a (very) simple person, I buy games because I want to play games, but Ubisoft seem to have forgotten the game part of the development process, and just want your money. But this will be the last game I buy from them unless thing change. Especially when there are more and more alternatives coming out that are just better.

  After dedicating 200 hours to this game, I can confidently say it's well worth the time. The story is consistently engaging, especially with Yasuke and Naoe's individual arcs. The voice acting could use some polish, but it's far from terrible. Combat is fluid and requires strategic play, setting it apart from earlier titles. The parkour system is a notable upgrade, featuring new mechanics like prone movement and a grappling hook for environmental traversal. The weapons are unique, each offering distinct perks, abilities, and finishers. My main issue is Ubisoft's choice of a fog of war-style map, which complicates exploration in feudal Japan's complex terrains. Despite this, I'd give the game an 8 out of 10, mainly due to minor issues with voice acting and the map design. Overall, it's a well-made game, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for the Assassin's Creed series.

  to good AND IT A LONG GAME
