  The game is pretty af but not engaging at all. Side activities are limited to button mashing QTE minigames which are okay but get very repetitive very fast. The world is beautiful but too big and empty. A smaller scale with a tighter narrative would have been nice. Side quests and even to an extent main quests are just checklists of enemies you need to kill. Not recommended.

  The game play is really fun and addicting, graphics are insane, has a interesting story. Can recommend

  it is a typical ac game. but with in game bugs. sometimes the game freezes and the graphics depreciates, icons sometimes disappear, i often click the map and menu to reboot the current gameplay to make the icons reappear and graphic pixel back to my desired settings. please do fix this.

  Stupid change to retrieving kunai making them almost useless. You either let us retrieve them without spending hours developing the skill tree or let us have more of them. Or make them ignore the hp segments, that way these 4 breakable knives will have any value...

  This game was a lot of fun, and the overall mechanics were incredibly well done. The storyline actually kept me engaged the whole way through, I ended up grinding pretty hard because I was so into it. I really appreciated how flexible the game is when it comes to playstyle; I was constantly swapping builds to keep things fresh and avoid getting bored. Now that that's out of the way, there are a few things I want to mention. I understand the Bo staff is part of the DLC, but it would’ve been so much better if there were a way to unlock it earlier in the game, rather than having to finish the entire epilogue. It’s such a great weapon, versatile posture stances and a solid variety of abilities made it one of my favorites. The pathfinding system was also a bit frustrating at times. It would send me on wild goose chases when the objective was literally just across a river or a short climb away. Also, I think the “pathfinder on” feature should default to guiding you to the nearest road or usable route when stranded instead of just saying “no path found.” I often found myself stuck in mountains or forests at night, having to scramble through trees or up steep terrain. And before you say “just fast travel”—these were unexplored areas on the map. Another issue I ran into was with the Teppo, Bow, and Kunai. They often felt buggy. I’d have my cursor directly on a target, but it wouldn’t turn red to indicate it was being recognized, which made aiming unreliable. Eventually, I gave up on using ranged weapons altogether and stuck with the Long Katana and Bo Staff. Lastly, I wish there were more interactions with allies. Once you unlock them, they basically become just another ability on cooldown. It would've been amazing to storm castles or complete major missions alongside them, similar to how it worked in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. This was my overall critique on the game, this isn't me bashing it I still had a lot of fun.

  Incredibly badly optimized, crashes all the time and the characters are boring. I never feel like caring what happens to anyone. Luckily I don't have to climb to any towers here, just to get fast travel points on my map, since the hideout system makes them largely irrelevant and are much better located for fast travel purposes anyway. Other than that, it's hard to find anything positive. It's pretty I guess and weather effects are quite good. It could be "Better-than-Valhalla"-level of game, but before they fix the crashes and slowly degrading framerates during the gameplay, I don't see any reason to waste time on AC Shadows. EDIT (19.10.2025): Crashes got a lot fewer once I lowered the ray tracing settings. Framerates are still bad and will get lower during my gameplay (doesn't matter which settings I am using). But at least it works now. I have nVidia RTX5090, AMD 9950X3D and 192GB of system ram, all installed on m.2 SSD drives. So the system specs shouldn't be a limiting factor for game to work well.

  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.

  The first Assassins Creed game I have ever not finished. It lacks substance, and feels more like hastily put together mobile game. I can't believe this is the same company who made games like Prince of Persia Sands of time, Splinter Cell, and of course the original Assassins Creed games. How embarrassing.

  Always nice to sit down to play a game, only to realize it needs a 90GB "update". Go eat a bag of dicks, devs.
