  it is a typical ac game. but with in game bugs. sometimes the game freezes and the graphics depreciates, icons sometimes disappear, i often click the map and menu to reboot the current gameplay to make the icons reappear and graphic pixel back to my desired settings. please do fix this.

  game was stiff af, total ubislop

  reminds me of a ghost of tsushima.

  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.

  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.

  I would just play ghost instead. Combat in this one is really bland, feels like star wars outlaws. Story was not that good, incredibly boring parkour. If you want a game like this but good play ghost, if you want an assassins creed game that is actually good then go play ac odyssey.

  I have had a great time with this installment of AC! I have played for 34 hours at this point and am nowhere near the end of the game. If you like to explore this is great for that, combat it pretty satisfying too.

  same same same, nothing new and exciting , very repetitious

  its fun

  katana very epic

  Floaty movement, worse optimisation and combat that is just "eh". After having played Ghost of Tsushima, it is impossible to go back to this game and not feel like I am playing a inferior product in every single way. Maybe worth it at 5-20 € on sale, but not even close to being a product that can stand on its own feet at full price. My stance towards Shadows and Ubisoft as a whole can be summed up in a simple quote from a reviewer: "At some point our time becomes too valuable to waste it on games that are just 'okay'"

  I will tell you this. This game is really good/ Want more? well... I learned about the game through controversies. Yes, the same ones about "ewwww Ubisoft is lgbt-washing this series again, somehow the samurai is black, japanese ninja is ugly (lmao, has anyone even seen Naoe?) etc, etc". However, my heart really craved a game like that (probably since the last game I played with the stealthy shinobi feel was Aragami 2) - that ninja/shinobi gameplay * this big of a scale + great animations, so I said to myself: "Hey, Rakash, let's just try it out! In the end, it doen't force me to play as Yasuke, you will just check it out and refund it if it's bad!" LITTLE DID I KNOW When I actually played the game, I found compelling story, good written characters (yes, their tropes are still "revenge!", but you can only have so much original stories...), suprisingly good gameplay that would let me play as a shinobi / sneaky ninja - Naoe is great for that path, and the game even had close to no Yasuke gameplay in first region (due to him being not unlocked yet). 160 hours later I can tell you this: I really liked Yasuke. Yes, Ubisoft added a black character where original japanese character would suffice, but Yasuke JUST WORKS SO WELL! He has a good backstory, understandable motivations, he doesn't just pop up out of nowhere to say "yo I will be the samurai!", but rather becomes one purely by chance. So I warmed up to him bit by bit, up to the point of playing him almost as much as Naoe. PLUS this game is technically one of the best products on the market. It just runs so well - no glitches, no lags, stable framerate, good flow of gameplay, nothing will stop you from playing it on the technical siede - unlike, let's say, Helldivers 2, Stalker 2 or Cyberpunk. Overall, if you like the setting and would want to get both samurai and shinobi in one package - go for it!
