  Does not work on proton

  Awesome game!

  another god title so far ! First i am playing on Pc ill never go back to console again

  In my opinion this game is a straight downgrade from Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Assassin's Creed Odyssey (I slept on Mirage so I have no frame on reference to that game, since it didn't seem all that interesting to me). Splitting all equipment and abilities between Naoe and Yasuke was a mistake in my eyes, I'd much rather have one character that can use it all, like Eivor or Kassandra in previous entries. When getting loot rewards, it feels absolutely awful when you realize that the item you got is exclusive to the character you don't plan on playing unless the game locks and forces you into playing it to progress the game (Which it has done, much to my annoyance). I despise the Knowledge system, it is an entirely arbitrary system used to lock you from getting perks in the skill trees by forcing you to do annoying and repetitive mini "games" (If you can even call them that, since some just amount to: Go here, press a button, wait 10 seconds for an animation to finish, repeat two more times.) to be able to get enough Knowledge poins to unlock incrementing Knowledge tiers (Knowledge is a separate measure to experience, which just makes it even dumber in my eyes that this system exists). Dialogue choices feel pretty meaningless and without consequence. You say X, the NPC replies with Y, and if moves onto Z, and even if you had picked A instead of X, the NPC would just say B and move onto Z anyways. The armor and weapons you get are all pretty lackluster visually, because obviously all the interesting designs are locked behind the cash shop in this singleplayer game, you just get four or five armor models and the way they make the illusion of having more is by spamming random retextures (Many of which in my opinion are gaudy or just plain ugly). As for the weapons you get a few blades or hilts, etc. and they randomly put two together when dealing out rewards, along with some retextures of the same things. Overall, I regret my purchase of this game, and I would refund it if I could. I really tried to enjoy it, but as it is now I definitively recommend skipping this game. Which is a shame because I am a fan of the recent AC games, especially Valhalla, with it being tied for my favouite AC game alongside Revelations. The game just feels like a slog compared to past entries.

  I will tell you this. This game is really good/ Want more? well... I learned about the game through controversies. Yes, the same ones about "ewwww Ubisoft is lgbt-washing this series again, somehow the samurai is black, japanese ninja is ugly (lmao, has anyone even seen Naoe?) etc, etc". However, my heart really craved a game like that (probably since the last game I played with the stealthy shinobi feel was Aragami 2) - that ninja/shinobi gameplay * this big of a scale + great animations, so I said to myself: "Hey, Rakash, let's just try it out! In the end, it doen't force me to play as Yasuke, you will just check it out and refund it if it's bad!" LITTLE DID I KNOW When I actually played the game, I found compelling story, good written characters (yes, their tropes are still "revenge!", but you can only have so much original stories...), suprisingly good gameplay that would let me play as a shinobi / sneaky ninja - Naoe is great for that path, and the game even had close to no Yasuke gameplay in first region (due to him being not unlocked yet). 160 hours later I can tell you this: I really liked Yasuke. Yes, Ubisoft added a black character where original japanese character would suffice, but Yasuke JUST WORKS SO WELL! He has a good backstory, understandable motivations, he doesn't just pop up out of nowhere to say "yo I will be the samurai!", but rather becomes one purely by chance. So I warmed up to him bit by bit, up to the point of playing him almost as much as Naoe. PLUS this game is technically one of the best products on the market. It just runs so well - no glitches, no lags, stable framerate, good flow of gameplay, nothing will stop you from playing it on the technical siede - unlike, let's say, Helldivers 2, Stalker 2 or Cyberpunk. Overall, if you like the setting and would want to get both samurai and shinobi in one package - go for it!

  7/10

  Suprised by how good it is. Emotional scenes, plot twists, cool animations, beautiful map, great visuals, great optimization, fun activities and much more. Only wish you leveled up slower, its like every 20 miniutes i have to swap equipment because its underleveled.

  Assassin Creed Shadows is a solid 7/10 game for me. The game is still in the RPG fashion games compared to the older assassin creed titles. I enjoyed the gameplay with the newer stealth mechanics, while the story was only ok. Act 1 and Act 3 is where the best parts are which is good except for the majority of the game being Act 2 which was boring and long. Overall I enjoyed gameplay especially the stealth where it is vastly improved over Valhalla's system. The new prone and shadows mechanic makes stealth more engaging and fun, although it's a shame that they didn't add social stealth into the game. Combat is around the same as the other rpgs with minimal changes to it. Parkour is the part of the gameplay where I'm most let down on as there's still no depth to it. You are still using the same system from the other rpg's. Storywise AC Shadows does start with a interesting ACT 1 which hooked me until ACT 2. The devs opted to use a open target board where you choose which target to go after, this in turn makes the characters unable to grow as each target can be taken out at anytime in the story. ACT 3 and the Epilogue does pick up the pace once more and gets interesting but I feel like the ending is underwhelming and only serves to set up the dlc. Voice acting is also one of the thing I think the game fails to deliver as the English VA is worse this time around, I opted for the Immersive Mode which has Japanese and Portuguese VA which was way better.

  i dont like playing as yaskue but naoe is fun, and the story at least in the opening is super engaging i havent got too far because im playing on nightmare but ive been loving the challenge and it makes every victory feel pretty canon imo.

  this is bad machanical game

  Naoe's gameplay is where this game shines for me, Yasuke can be fun if you just want to feel like a tank and mow down enemies, but I chose Naoe over Yasuke whenever the game had you choose one for some story elements. Feels a step closer to the stealth/assassin focused gameplay of older Assassin's Creed games more so than Valhalla, Odyssey, Mirage, and even Origins in my opinion.

  Great visuals, fast travel, the fighting is spectacular, something you want to get good at, rather than just hack and slash your way through. Very enjoyable.
