  The game is okay but not really groundbreaking. For me it feels too long and it drags itself out so much. What I liked about the game: - good performance and visual fidelity out of the box. I had absolutely 0 issues regarding FPS drops or anything like that and I could start the game with the recommended graphic settings. - generally good visuals and very well optimized. You get good visuals even if you are not on the highest end of hardware. - stealth gameplay is as you would expect. I don't like stealth games generally but I think that is good and well made if you are into that (But of course that is to be expected given Ubisoft previous experience with their franchise) - RPG Elements and the dialogues are nice when you play in Japanese Dub What I didn't like: - Combat 1o1 or 1v2. Reading the enemys movement is not well done. Instead of being able to react naturally to how enemies swinging their weapons, this feels like it is not possible in this game. Instead you need to remember the attack combo, reading it after the first swing. Example: the big Brute enemys with the mace. They have an attack where they hit you with a downward swing. If you dodge and stay near them, they will combo it with a upward or side swing. This swing is so difficult to read, that I basically always got immediately hit when the enemy started the swing instead of when the attack would actually land. This is what I mean with that. In other games like in Rise of the Ronin or even in Ghost of Tsushima, it was way way better scripted and felt more natural to get a combat flow without knowing every single enemy attack in advance. - Progression and Rewards: I played over 10 hours, but it does not feel rewarding at all. You get some skills, yes, but it's just not enough and not exciting at all. Throw a Kunai faster? Deplete 1 additional heatlhbar with an assasination? Get 10% adrenalin when dodging? Does that sound exciting? Can we maybe get something better that actually changes or makes the gameplay more exciting when you finally have it? I don't know man. It feels like the most damage and defense gain you get is just from leveling. What about another combat stance for Naoe? Making her more tanky, if we want to play that way with her? - Female Character design. Please Make the female Characters more attractive and let us change the protagonist in a kind of Character customization. It is not as bad as Ghost of Tsushima, but look at the NPC's and companions in Rise of the Ronin. They look way better and are more attractive. And guess what? Making them more attractive spices up the gameplay. Giving players reason to progress the romance options etc. If they are not attractive, why would I make the effort to romance a character? Conclusion: If you have a lot of time to kill and focus more on visual fidelity instead of gameplay, than this could be for you. This game is a literal time-killer. My personal conclusion is, that I don't want to spend 30 hours in a game to find the "fun" part. I am an adult, I can't commit to play over 1-2 hours at times. This game gives you so little for the time you put in. Yes the graphics are good. But give me good gameplay and better rewards quicker. Its just not enough for me to recommend. I don't want to play for an hour to be able to throw a kunai faster.

  Classic Ubi add post-launch content that makes the 100% achievement completion a pain. Mastery rank 10 requires completion of all side content about twice. And I thought the NG+ achievement would annoy me the most. May perhaps be better when more DLC content is added but I don't think it will make up for the painful 'end game' grind for rank 10. If you don't care about achievements, the game is okay and relatively inoffensive, but nothing spectacular. English dub is terrible so definitely recommend playing in the Japanese/Portuguese dialogue mode.

  Mostly soul-less I liked the old AC games and I enjoyed Odyssey but Shadows falls in the same camp as Valhalla for me - Just ok. Passable. It's fine. Letter grade: C. I love Japanese culture and history and the very beginning of Shadows is pretty good. It reminds me a lot of Shogun. But after both tutorials when you get to the open world it all falls apart. It slows to a crawl and boils down to a circle of templars with 3 or so prerequisite side missions attached to each. The Stealth is great, the combat is good. Side activities are tedious and there are too many. Locations are too close together and very similar which ruins exploration. Buy Ghost of Tsushima instead. If you already own it play it again instead of this. 6/10

  very good

  Honestly, as someone who has played almost all of AC games, this one is very dissapointing. Start of the game was much stronger, the introductions, the generic plot etc., but once you’re given that freedom it all falls apart…it feels too big, parkour is almost entirely properly limited to castles, other areas it’s mostly running, Japan is beautiful, but gameplay wise, with combat and atory it all falls short (just play Ghost of Tsushima). Games is good for few hour play sessions to clear a castle, to get some gear you probably won’t need… Heard last few hours were good, but I barely even noticed the game ended, I was shocked to trealise I completed the main plot, so boring by the end… Might continue to kill of some targets, but more glad I got it on huge discount, not worth full price!

  Buggy mess, constant loading. To be clear, my computer is very good and the game does not come close to half my performance especially since i tried to play with the performance settings but it still loads constantly and takes forever especially in cutscenes for some reason. subtitles dont show up in time often and some text stays permanently on screen untill you restart the game. it is rather beautifull though and i belive the problems can be fixed later. I would reccomend buing it if there is a good sale at the moment and pray ubisoft fix one of their games for once.

  🌸 pin8goodluck – A Masterpiece of Feudal Japan 🇯🇵⚔️ Ubisoft has truly outdone itself with pin8goodluck. This game is everything longtime fans and newcomers have been waiting for — a perfect blend of stealth, open-world exploration, and cinematic storytelling set in the breathtaking era of Feudal Japan. From the very first mission, the dual protagonist system between Naoe and Yasuke feels fresh and exciting. Naoe’s stealth mechanics capture the spirit of the classic Assassin’s Creed titles, while Yasuke’s brute strength and samurai combat bring a bold new layer of gameplay depth. The contrast between the two creates endless possibilities for how you approach every encounter. Visually, the game is stunning. The dynamic weather, cherry blossom forests, and authentic Japanese villages make every frame feel like a piece of art. The soundtrack perfectly complements the atmosphere — calm and haunting one moment, intense and powerful the next. Ubisoft nailed the historical detail and cultural respect. From the architecture to the weapon design, it’s clear this world was built with care and authenticity. And the story? Emotional, mature, and filled with moments that genuinely hit hard. Whether you’re a longtime Assassin’s Creed fan or just looking for an unforgettable adventure, Shadows is one of the best games in the series. It’s not just another entry — it’s a rebirth of what makes Assassin’s Creed so special. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) — A must-play experience.

  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.

  Great game, a lot of fun. I love the Assassins Creed games.
