  i had a lot of bug. screen froze when entering an area, crash when doing some mission. so bad!!!

  same same same, nothing new and exciting , very repetitious

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

  This game is very bad and I don't recommend it to anyone. I've finished every new-gen Assassin’s Creed: Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla and Mirage, but this one I'm just dropping after 46 hours in, as I've started speedrunning the story just to finish it, and I'm not having fun at all. Up to around 15 hours it was a pretty fun game, the story started strong, but after that it becomes utterly repetitive, boring and random. It's basically a walking simulator from point A to point B just to kill some target you don't even know the reason for. Every region you get new random set of few targets to kill, you mark them on the map, go to the marked point and kill the target... repeat. The main story follows the exact same loop, every target you have to kill plays out in exactly the same way. PROS: - Very beautiful graphics. japan looks great, 4 seasons that constantly changes whole environment... It's just pretty. CONS: - Repetitiveness - Super boring question marks (go to the marked point, press triangle, wait, repeat) or ultra boring castles. Only kofuns were fun. - Story is just bad, but narration is a total disaster - Music is bad, forgettable and just strange - Totally empty big world that offers nothing - Side quests that are either new sets of targets to kill for no reason or fetch quests like kill 25,50, 100 enemies in every region - Trash combat system - Trash scouts system (eagle from previous games was much better) - Uninteresting, forgettable side characters

  I just love with Naoe

  First time [i]Assasins Creed[/i] player, but pleasantly surprised, although everything is [i]pretty[/i] familiar for any [i]Far Cry[/i] fans. Anyway: gorgeous game (although not as vibrant as, ehm, [i]other[/i] recent AAA entries in the "open-world feudal Japan" category), with an actually-engaging story (unlike, well, those other games). Some novel mechanics, like meditation (a soothing rhythm-based activity with bonus flashback scenes), scouts (although I never really got the hang of that), as well as a bunch of mumbo-jumbo about (de-)synchronization, "Memories" and "the Guide" that I don't quite get either (and had to quit out of several of these missions as the objective was entirely elusive), but, hey... Bonus is that the game is [i]actually[/i] educational: geography, shrine etiquette, tea ceremonies, tons of history, provided you care to read all the codex entries. You get to play two distinct personas: a nimble ninja (never realized that the flowing lines of Japanese architecture are so amenable to parcouring up!) as well as a tanky samurai (but, don't worry, he can climb up to viewpoints too and the conviently-placed hay heaps break his fall just, ehhh, enough, which is good, as he [i]is[/i] a bit more unsteady). It makes for a nice change and allows you to alternately (even rather seamlessly) explore various playstyles, which is a good thing, because although the map is [i]huge[/i], the activities to be found there are not very varied, and once the initial novelty wears off, things get tedious very quickly. Like when you discover that most castles and such are straight off the very same IKEA catalog page... Not quite boring enough to abandon the main story entirely, which fortunately does not require too much progression outside of it, but the mid-game slog is by far the biggest weakness of this title (and, judging by the steep drop-off in players that achieve the end of part 1 vs part 2, that's a game-problem, not a me-problem...). The game is [i]very[/i] open-ended (a.k.a. vague, but, hey, there's a whole Internet these days containing all the guides you need, oh, and a game mode), which is OK up to a point, but the virtual world is not always up to the ambitious goals of its designers. Like, I need to get some silk, and I'm on a pirate ship that [i]cleary[/i] has some of that on deck -- I mean, I'm looking right at it! However, I can't [i]get[/i] it, because the game insists I should be on the [i]other[/i] nearby ship, where the developers have placed the requisite chest to actually give me the loot. And, yeah, I [i]understand[/i] why this is, but still... Also, there is just [i]way too much[/i] stuff to collect: it just leads to FOMO (just one more legendary chest to loot!), but, wait, do I [i]actually[/i] need 20 katana, each with [i]slightly[/i] different stats? No, in fact, I do [i]not[/i], and cutting down on all those diversions, while introducing more stuff that actually [i]matters[/i] would greatly improve the situation. Finally: the forced Ubisoft account nonsense has always made it annoying to [i]start[/i] their games, but this time around actually [i]actively spoils[/i] the experience since it places 'community photos' on the map by default. So, yeah, you're searching for someone. Where could they be? Maybe at the spot where several other players-that-you-don't-know-and-don't-[i]want[/i]-to-know left their graffiti? Nah, surely not... And then you get several kinds of pointless points that you can spend in some kind of superfluous 'store' for some unnecessary reasons, in addition to all the complexity that is already in the game. Please! Just. Stop. It! If I want to be on Facetube or Youbook, I'll just go there!

  The stealth is the best in the series and should be the new standard to build on in the franchise (instant assassinations enabled). Lots of tools at your disposal, improved movement, can finally go prone, sliding, rolling, etc. In conjunction with the satisfying parkour/movement and assassination animations, I really enjoyed playing as Naoe. It also helped that the cosmetics looked great on her too. You really feel like an experienced assassin playing her. Unfortunately, the combat and story fell stale for me. I found myself returning to finish Ghost of Thisusma for the combat after this game left lots to desire there. I wish AC Shadows had a lethal difficulty like GOT. Playing against spongey enemies isn't fun to me. Overall, I'd still recommend the game (on sale) almost entirely for the stealth (maybe for the graphics and environment too), just don't expect a gripping story or satisfying combat.

  unplayable at the moment. Game keeps loading midgame and mid fights even with lowest settings

  GREAT GAME, the gameplay is way better imo than ghost of tsushima BUT the story in tsushima would never be topped by this, but everything with the gameplay in this game ive enjoyed so much to this point and without a doubt my favorite assassins creed game now

  i cannot give a recommendation to this game for one reason and one reason only, it just doesnt fucking work properly on my machine. my PC specs is a ryzen 7 5700x, 16gb of 3200mhz ddr4 and a RTX 3070TI with the game installed on an SSD, and i cannot enjoy the game at all because the world DOESNT LOAD FAST ENOUGH?? IM TIRED OF SEEING THESE LOW RES TEXTURE AND LOD MODELS EVERYWHERE, IM LITERALLY PLAYING ON ULTRA FUCKING LOW??? whats annoying is that when this game works, its beautiful, i LOVE the game, but these issues im encountering is annoying. its even more annoying that every other recent AC game works just fine, this is the only one that doesnt. EDIT: got the game working fine, updated to windows 11 and got a brand new SATA SSD which thankfully fixes all the issues, the game is pretty good, my thumbs up is not a "recommend" however, its more like a maybe, maybe with time this game will continue to get better, especially performance wise.

  Can't even get through the prologue without constant ctds. Attempted a few supposed fixes I found online to no avail. I'd avoid the game for the moment until there is a fix or at least a sale.

  SO GOOD
