  its soo tuff

  Much of the gameplay follows a familiar loop of clearing fortresses, assassinating targets and collecting chests. If you liked that in the previous (newer) Assassin’s Creed games, you will probably enjoy this one as well. In addition to the main quest targets, there are plenty of side targets, so much of the game is spent hunting them down. I thought it was fun honestly, so it gets a positive review from me. Compared to Valhalla, there’s way less random filler content. The graphics are beautiful, it runs smoothly, and the combat is fun. Unfortunately the story and the side characters are forgettable. I absolutely disliked that you HAVE to play both characters. I played Naoe as much as I could because she plays like an assassin and it’s fun, you know? But in order to continue some parts of the story and to get the ending, I had to play Yasuke and I really hated playing him. Playing him felt clunky and frustrating. Naoe’s English voice acting made the game unplayable for me, so I highly recommend switching to Japanese.

  Having played every AC game to date I have mixed feelings about shadows but probably wouldn't recommend it to most people. Things that are good -Combat is fun and surprisingly active when using Naoe. -The world is beautiful -Better stealth mechanics -Sweet flips n shit The Bad -The voice acting makes me cringe at times -The story is bland and forgettable almost immediately -Its still just "climb this tower to uncover the map and take over this fortress/base" -Yasuke feels pretty much useless compared to Naoe -They got rid of climbing on a bunch of surfaces, so where you could have climbed over an obstacle in the past, now you have to run around it. Thats not fun. Its tedious. -The camera inside of buildings is bad. It was clearly designed for outside use like the other games, but there are so many interiors throughout this game I'm constantly annoyed when I go indoors and its viewing angle is awful. Buy it on sale for 50% off or more and I think its an "ok" purchase. $70 for this game feels like a rip off since theres absolutely nothing new or really innovative to see here. I dont think I'm ganna end up beating this one. I really can't believe they finally did ninjas though and this is what we ended up with. Way to biff it ubisoft

  Recomendado 100%, no me canso de jugarlo, de verdad que es una mejora muy considerable al desastre de Valhalla.

  one of the better ac games in recent years.

  This one is between Yes and No actually. Shadows is a gorgeous game with fluid parkour animation without clipping, but it is fundamentally confused about its own mythology from the very start. Our supposed new Assassin, Naoe, jas the Hidden Blade just like that but acting in the story as if she's never heard of the Brotherhood or its tenets. It's an utterly baffling narrative decision; she's building some rogue league detached from centuries of established lore and driven purely by personal vengeance. Worse, after slogging through eighty hours of Animus data, there is virtually zero connection to the Order/Templars, the Hidden Ones/Assassins, or the precursor Isu civilization. The narrative itself takes an absolute age to get moving. It took me thirty hours before I've met Diego ( a second PC). Thank goodness the mandatory dual-protagonist setup clearly favors Naoe, offering the true stealth the series demands. Her fluid shinobi approach to infiltration and refined kills is the superior, most satisfying gameplay loop. The other bloke's mandated "trainwreck everything" style is tiresome and repetitive, making him feel like an obligatory distraction. Ultimately, this title is more 16th-century Japan simulator than global historical conflict. The core struggle is absent, but if you can tolerate the narrative vacuum, Naoe provides a top-tier assassination experience.

  A very good game that Is definitely my favourite in the "new" Assassins Creed games since Origins. The world of 16th Century Japan is by far the most impressive, expansive and immersive worlds that Ubisoft has ever made. The sheer scale of each province, the diversity of biomes from the grand pine forests of Kii to the war torn wastlelands of Harima, the quality of the world made here is excellent. Gameplay is fun and improved from previous games, Yasuke is a tank that excels in combat, while Naoe is perfect for stealth and assassination. There is a good variety of weapons for each character which gives alot of options for different playstyles. The weakest link BY FAR, is the story telling, and it is an absolute shame. I feel that Assassins Creed Shadows has everything it to make it a strong, emotional and captivating tale. Yasuke and Naoe are good characters, with compelling stories, that are mishandled with pacing and confusing revelations in the final act. The story throughout it's entirety, pin-balls from the present to the past, removing any natural flow from one event to the next. This juggling of different story beats, back and forth, for the majority of the game does a disservice to alot of the emotional core of these characters. This only exacerbated by the baffling decision to write it so that characters do not find reveal CRUCIAL INFO they have known since the beginning, in flashbacks, during the final missions. This ridiculous story telling damages the plot, the characters, their reasoning, and our attachment to them. Overall it's a excellent historical experience with good gameplay and fun mechanics mired by a terribly written story with otherwise strong characters.

  Played this now for a while and loved the storyline. Great graphics and details during the game. Love the connection and switching up between our 2 main characters. Love the quests, but also side quests and exploring u can do. Love to play in the Japanese timeline.
