  I've been waiting for something since Odyssey to peak my interest. This has an equally awesome map, amazing story, and in my opinion better fight sequences than Odyssey, and that's hard to beat. Easily my favourite game so far.

  Sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit

  If you like stealth game play in AC then playing Shadows as Naoe is great fun. I'm 50 hrs into it, taking my time and enjoying the game. Graphics are great too.

  You know know how, when you go back to replay Black Flag for the 98th time because it's one of the greatest games ever made and, you realize the controls are a little clunky? But it's ok because the game is so old and the next thing you do is wonder: why on Earth would a giant, corporate game dev not only remaster and rework this masterpiece but also create a sequel? AC Shadows controls are clunkier than Black Flag. In this day and age how is that even possible? You know that 8-direction instead of ANY fluid direction movement? It's like this was made for a Commodore 64. Survival games created by 1-person devs have better, more fluid motion than this horrifying pile of steaming, lifeless garbage. Shadows is 3rd person but you can't see your character in tight situations or even some camera angles? My head hurts. My eyeballs are on fire. But alas, I can rest my eyeballs during the 3,000 hrs of cinematic cut-scene hoo haw. Leave the cinema to Hollywood. We watch MOVIES. We PLAY video games. In between cut scenes I... press R1 a lot? The Japanese speak English but the Portuguese speak... Portuguese? I hold L2 to put a little triangle above a couple of NPC heads but I can hold R3 to see NPCs through solid objects?

  Listen, it's pretty, it's period accurate in terms of most characters and settings, does a decent job of most things... but it's Ubisoft, right? I spent most of my time following map markers or letting my horse drive itself around with me on its back. In a fight, it's the same fight. From the first scene to whatever scene I reached, same fight. Over and over and over and over. Nothing changed, nothing developed, not much in the way of evolution. Ubisoft style, right? Constant filler. Do every little Temple. Clap your hands, find things, collect "Pages." Shoot things from your horse. Do some little memorisation and melody puzzles. Over and over and over and over. It's worth it probably if you skip the bullshit and just close in on the bad guy assassination targets. I can see getting a really solid sixty hours out of this game, but don't bother exploring too much. It just leads to the over and over and over and over Ubisoft feeling.

  REALLY FUN

  not that bad

  If you're an AC fan, I can recommend this. It's in my opinion the best they've done since Syndicate, however, it suffers from the same repetitive open world that was present in Origins - Valhalla. I never managed to finish any of those, as it became way too dull, and I doubt I'll finish this one either, but it's still a fun entry to the series, maybe wait till it's cheaper.

  This game has so many things to do and the graphics are crazy.

  It's mid. Combat is fun. But the world story, characters, presentation are all boring. The quests are fine - story is meh. If if they removed the yasuke nonsense Naoe as a char is just meh. This could have been done so much better- thats the real disappointment. Why can't we have a cool open world ninja game? O wait- ghost of tsushima exists

  I am a lifelong Assassin’s Creed fan and I’ve played all of them and loved every minute of it. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same with this game. The controls have completely broken me, the parkour is downright broken, the sneaking sucks, the combat is just so terrible on controller and mouse and keyboard. I think I hate this game. The only saving grace is the story, the characters, cutscenes and visuals. I love the alternate outcomes that come from making different choices, however it’s completely overshadowed by the horrible controls and combat system for me.

  Yasuke feels very forced on me. I just want to run fast and go brrr. He's not entirely boring but when I have a choice I don't use the character. His story doesn't suck, however. And, overall, this game is a banger.
