  avoid at all costs. unless this was free then it's not worth anything. every single aspect of the game is buggy especially the movement and combat. Yasuke being playable doesn't help either, given he is the complete opposite of stealthy and assassin not even having eagle vision or actual assassination. The enemies like to teleport around through walls. especially guardians who are not supposed to be in certain areas like to spawn right behind even tho you're not wanted.

  if you want to play a samurai game go play Ghost of Tsushima, this 2 character spilt gameplay style sucks..

  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!

  So bad RTX4090 13700K But unable to start the game normally

  I purchased this game and logged into my Ubisoft account. Launched the game and enjoyed the first 3 hours. The next day I wanted to play again, but the launcher said it's linked to a different e-mail address that I've never seen before. Now I'm unable to play the game and the Ubisoft Connect app says it can't authenticate ownership of the game I just purchased. Same thing happened with Ghost Recon.... I'm over buying Ubisoft games, never again as long as I have to go through a secondary application to launch a game. I've spent more hours trying to fix it than actually playing the game.

  its soo tuff

  Great game, great fun. Give it a go if you're an AC fan.

  I Decided to Revise my review after playining for nearly 50 hours...... So 1st heres the BAD BUGS i found and HOW TO FIX THEM! Bug#1- CONTROLLER DISCONNECTING during Gameplay and switching to keyboard and mouse! FIX- Goto the "GAMEPLAY" Tab and change input to HYBRID! [It did this 3 times to me in 50 hours] Bug#2-STUTTERING!!!! Ya i found a FIX! FIX 1-If your using an XBOX SERIES CONTROLLER... UPDATE IT! i hadnt updated mine in probably 6 months dont know why it matters but when i updated it FIXED THE STUTTERING COMPLETELY! FIX 2- IF you have AVOWED installed! and its still stuttering... uninstall AVOWED! again this worked instantly! Long Story but these were the 2 causes i found! NOW! After playing mostly Bug Free for around 40 hours minus the random controller disconnect roughly after 10-15 hours... 3 times in total... ANNOYING! But didnt really ruin the game... SO! I'm Changing my Review to THUMBS UP! Cause after solving the bugs i was able to play ASSASSINS CREED SHADOWS @ 4K MAX EVERYTHING ! + RAY TRACING AND HAIR! with only DLSS 4 Quality+ FG at a SILKY SMOOTH 48-60 FPS! But i prefer 60 LOCKED! So i dropped to 1440p I'm running a Ryzen 7 (3700x),32gb ddr4 ram [3200mhz], 7tb storage samsung ssd's annnnnnd a RTX 3060 12gb! Sooooooo yeah when its running good this is one of the BEST Games i played this Year! 9/10

  Don't listen to the people hating just because of ubisoft. Play the game and make your own opinion please. Pros: Graphics are insane, the map is well done and doesn't fell empty at all, sound design is top level, mechanics are well done and fresh (like the sidekick one), side activities are cool and castle are pretty good although some of them feels the same as others, seasons are a nice addition with winter being beautiful and impacted gameplay (you can hide easily, your step are slowed, lake are frozen (so no hiding in them), etc..) and Naoe (assassin) and Yasuke (samurai) feel completely different and impose new playstyles. Mids: Combat is good but is a bit repetitive (mainly because there's not many enemy types), skills are nice and useful for the most part but once you find 2 or 3 that you like you will stick with those, same for weapons. If you play to find everything exploration feels a bit repetitive when it comes to temples and side activities, dialogues are a bit meh and choices dont really matter except when it comes to sidekicks. Performances were bad on launch (pc) but within a month they fixed it (you still need a pretty good computer to run the game at ultra 1080p). Cons: Story is way to complicated for nothing; they introduce so many side characters and try interlinking them but at the end only like 4 characters are really important. It's the same problem as the other one before: '' Oh no they killed someone I care about'' or '' Oh no they want to take over the territory''. It's basic and the story is only driven by vengeance for both Naoe and Yasuke. On a another note; Yasuke's side of the story is REALLY interesting compare to Naoe, which is a shame. It doesn't feel like they gave the same amount of love to the 2 characters (maybe because they knew Naoe was gonna be more popular so they wanted to emphasise more on Yasuke idk). Personal note: this game felt amazing to play and captured the ambience of japan incredibly. I probably spent at least 5 hours total in photo mode. This is the type of game that wins me over, disabling the HUD and walking slowly with your horse through fields or forest while your sound is at 100%; nothing gave me this feeling since Got or Rdr2 beside this game. Note: 8/10. My favourite modern day ac game and top 2 overall behind ac3. Still it doesn't feel like a amazing assassin's creed game but it is a really good rpg game.

  same same same, nothing new and exciting , very repetitious

  Only get this if it's on a deep sale. It's just a bloated poor imitation of Ghost of Tsushima. I like that Yasuke and Naoe play different. I also like how depending on the weapon equipped Naoe can perform different attacks. The map is way too big and it's just aimless filler of checking off target lists, adding nothing to the story. The QTE Kata and meditation games are half baked and I can see what they were going for, but sadly I kept thinking "this was done better in Ghost of Tsushima" ubisoft wasted a decade chasing whales with microtransactions when they could've probably made this game after Black Flag. I can tell you what happened in basically every AC game up to Origins. With the latest titles idk wtf happened after I watched the credits roll. Big worlds full of fluff. Yasuke is basically the only character to have a concise story. Naoe's ends in sequel bait. Get it on deep sale, otherwise save your money.

  We wait so many years for a game dedicated to Japan and one of the most prominent characters isn't Japanese. It's like making a game based in America and the main character is Chinese. I dont know how stupid a company has to be to do something like this. I guess they had to do their due diligence and appeal to the stupid masses and make a game based on a character that has no information about him. If you want a game that actually cares about the culture of Japan, try Ghost of Tsushima. If you didn't already think ubisoft was the worst company, now you do.
