  Pretty fun, I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than Valhalla. The combat can get repetitive though, since there's like 4 enemy types and all the bosses are more or less just HP sponges. The split between Yasuke and Naoe is a really cool idea and lets you experiment with both playstyles freely. There's also a decent variety of weapons. Graphics and atmosphere are very good too. Tbh though I have absolutely 0 desire to keep playing after killing the main set of goons. Get it on sale.

  so far im leaving this review at two hours but will change it if my opinion changes. My first major issue is NEEDING the game to be on an SSD for the cutscenes to be able to play. There should be no reason my OFFLINE GAME buffers every two seconds in cutscenes when i can play games like rivals and cyberpunk on a mechanical just fine. now lets move onto the actual gameplay. the movement is shoddy at best, my computer can barely run medium graphics settings when i could play Valhalla on Ultra. there should be no reason this game is that much more of a load on my system than the one that came out like two years prior. I dont like being forced to go through three separate combat tutorials, as well as the super boring needing to walk places that could've just been a cutscene. I was really excited for this game, specifically because of the very realistic black samurai lore that could've been made, but the whole story is just bland as hell. truly upsetting Edit: as I have played more i noticed a few things. For starters they really enjoy time jumping, no idea why we cant play good ol chronological order but maybe thats just me. the combat is very different from any ac game, enemies hit a lot harder, have a lot more armor, and the bigger enemies attack more like dark souls enemies with decently delayed attacks. you're a lot weaker, both health/defense and strength wise, and the enemies can hit you even in dodging. i did a whole flip and got 180 quickscoped by some npc. i dont think im gonna be changing my review but i paid money for this game so i'll see it through. i get we dont want remakes but the feeling i got from AC 3 & 4 is not the same i feeling from the last few games. plus i bought something in the credit shop with the free creds and it didnt tell me i NEEDED the dlc in order to use it so im salty about that.

  the only game with assassin in the name where it forces you to not play an assassin.when i play this game i wanna be sneaky and stealthy and this game forces you to sit out in the open and fight people like its open world mortal kombat. i hate playing as the samurai character and hate boss battles where you have to widdle them down for 45 min cause its impossible to hide after you attempt one assassination

  good fun game never play the assassins creed a part form first one many moons go this one made play again love it wise i had more time to play it

  I've been eyeing Assassin's Creed Shadows for ages, and snagging it on sale was one of my best decisions, no regrets at all. Among the recent AC titles, this one's easily one of the top contenders for me. The story clocks in at a solid 7/10; it's engaging without being overly groundbreaking, but the narrative pacing keeps you hooked through the twists of feudal Japan. Graphically, it's a jaw dropper, breathtaking vistas, intricate details in every shrine and village, and dynamic weather that makes the world feel alive and immersive. The stealth mechanics are the deepest in the series yet, blending classic AC tension with innovative tools like smoke bombs and disguises, while those revamped executions, brutal, cinematic, and oh so satisfying, nail the signature assassin flair. Combat is a thrill ride: visceral swordplay that's challenging yet fair, with parry timings and combo chains that reward skill and keep fights feeling fresh and intense. And that feudal Japan vibe? Pure magic, the cherry blossoms, misty mountains, and cultural depth create an atmosphere I can't get enough of, from rooftop parkour across tiled roofs to seamless blending into crowds. Exploration is a standout, with hidden tombs, dynamic events, and a massive open world packed with side activities that easily stretch playtime beyond 150 hours without feeling bloated. Switching between protagonists Naoe and Yasuke adds killer variety, her agile shinobi runs versus his tanky samurai charges let you tackle missions your way, and building out your personal hideout is a fresh, addictive layer of progression no other AC has nailed like this. Little joys like petting adorable pups and cats in villages or uncovering folklore inspired lore just amp up the charm, making every corner feel rewarding.

  Japan.

  We wait so many years for a game dedicated to Japan and one of the most prominent characters isn't Japanese. It's like making a game based in America and the main character is Chinese. I dont know how stupid a company has to be to do something like this. I guess they had to do their due diligence and appeal to the stupid masses and make a game based on a character that has no information about him. If you want a game that actually cares about the culture of Japan, try Ghost of Tsushima. If you didn't already think ubisoft was the worst company, now you do.

  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.

  9.10

  ok

  No voice sound in cutscenes. Can't play.
