  Game is soo good and fun i have ton of staff to do and collect and map is huge, i don't know why people hate this game everything is nice real japan game i love it.

  I would just play ghost instead. Combat in this one is really bland, feels like star wars outlaws. Story was not that good, incredibly boring parkour. If you want a game like this but good play ghost, if you want an assassins creed game that is actually good then go play ac odyssey.

  Don’t, just don’t. Steam Deck user here. Verified badge: not at all. The game simply doesn’t run past the franchise intro…. I had to watch it several times and God, please, turn that shit off. Game boots, runs the franchise intro then tells you it’s running on a HDD (which is wrong for the Steam Deck). It says I have 18 minutes of playtime: it’s 18 minutes of verifying files, running different protons, all with the same result. ProtonDB has the same: no longer works but once was. It’s like a history book! Kind of a bummer, I was looking forward to play it with all of the QoL but my guess is Ubisoft really enjoys having their reputation destroyed after releasing buggy DLC or updates that don’t cover the basic issues. My advice: Don’t buy it. If you did, refund it like I will. If you have played it for a while and can’t anymore? Steam might still provide a refund if the issue is on Ubisoft side. Cheers 🫡

  My first Assassin’s Creed game and really liked exploring this world with it's beautiful seasons.

  When I started the game, I hated it. 5 Hours Cut scenes, way to many cut scenes with characters you're not attached to with bad emotional acting. 20 Hours The game starts FINALLY feeling kinda fun. Missions are interesting, story is pretty engaging and lots of side activities. The world is beautiful, one of the best I've seen to be honest. The graphics are very nice but mostly the world scenery is just gorgeous. 60 hours + Im absolutely hooked and find myself fearing the end to come. - The side missions don't feel repetitive like the other games and discovering new areas or just beatiful backdrops and natural environments is still so rewarding. - The combat is fun, though it's not a challenge like darksouls. The fighting is very familiar to AC Odyssey, I like it but wish it was a little more skill based. - The story has reeled me in and I never know which direction to go as I want to do them all. You get to choose to chase down elite members or many organizations and get rewarded for individuals and completing the whole set. - Quest choice is nice. Sometimes I want to keep hunting certain groups down but I keep getting side tracked by all the new option's. It's not "grindy" feeling, unless you're just hunting for resources for gear upgrades. 80 hours + Just leave me alone, I want to get back to taking screenshots of waterfall overlooks and random beautiful rivers with cherry blossom tree's in the middle of a mountain.

  I’ve put 55 hours into Assassin’s Creed: Shadows at the time of writing this review. I was originally planning to go for a 100% completion run as I do with most AC titles, but I couldn’t bring myself to finish the story or side quests... I simply got too bored. Which is saying a LOT since I've completed every AC game and have 100% almost all of them. At first, the game shows promise. The dual-character campaign is an interesting idea, and I enjoyed switching between Naoe’s stealth-focused style and Yasuke’s brute-force approach. Early missions and gear upgrades kept me engaged, and the Japan setting is visually stunning. Ubisoft clearly poured effort into the world design and atmosphere, and for a while, it’s easy to be drawn in. Truly, the visuals and soundtrack for AC: Shadows are gorgeous. But the problems become impossible to ignore. The biggest issue is the level scaling system. No matter how much time you spend grinding, collecting legendary gear, or over-preparing for upcoming bosses, it doesn’t matter. Enemies and bosses automatically scale to your level, so the satisfaction of becoming stronger or mastering an area is stripped away. Progress feels pointless, and after 20 hours, the loop of grinding, gearing, and moving to the next region completely loses meaning, especially since a lot of the side quests and missions feel the same. COMBAT ------------------ Combat is another letdown. On paper, the contrast between Yasuke’s heavy combat and Naoe’s nimble assassinations should feel dynamic. In practice, both grow repetitive fast. Enemies all share predictable patterns, bosses are nothing more than giant health bars, and increasing difficulty doesn’t make encounters more strategic or challenging, it just turns fights into tedious slogs by inflating enemy HP and slightly increasing their damage. Additionally, while I get what they were trying to go for by creating this contract of Yasuke being an unstoppable force in combat but bad at stealth and Naoe being great at stealth but bad in combat, I found it super frustrating to do any sort of combat with Naoe. At a certain point, no matter what gear, weapons or level you are with Naoe, combat with her just feels like it takes forever because you do no damage and he abilities don't feel like they do anything. While all of Naoe's attacks are flashy and look cool, I found myself just spamming her heavy attack at a certain point just to end combat quickly because of how un-fun it is to do combat with her and how little damage her attacks do. (I ended my playthrough at Lvl. 55 btw, and I STILL felt like she was doing no damage even with fully upgraded gear.) STORY ------------------ The story suffers from pacing issues as well. The opening drags on and on with tutorials and flashbacks, the dual narratives never mesh as smoothly as promised, and the ending (from what I've seen) lacks payoff. I never felt any sense of mystery or satisfaction tracking down the main story bad guys, and since the story is so long (not in content, it just takes a long time to level up enough to be able to progress), I found myself completely forgetting what I was supposed to be doing or who I was supposed to be mad at in the story. Additionally, the side quests, which should add flavor and be enjoyable, are formulaic and repetitive. Even travel becomes a chore because horse riding is slow, sometimes it's confusing what you are and aren't allowed to climb on, and the world, while beautiful, loses it's mystery and thrill to travel through after the 5th shinobi or ronin encounter. CONCLUSION ------------------ There are glimpses of what Shadows could have been: gorgeous visuals, a strong setting, and occasional chemistry between the protagonists. But all of that gets buried under bloated systems, repetitive combat, meaningless progression, and narrative drag. In the end, Assassin’s Creed: Shadows feels like busywork disguised as an epic, and I found myself realizing that playing the game was almost like a chore at times. If you’re an AC completionist, you may find a few hours of enjoyment in the stealth mechanics or exploration, but for most players, this is one you should skip. Ubisoft’s ambition is there, but the execution makes it hard to recommend.
