  Assassins creed shadows is 7/10(Good), it does a lot of things right and fumble on some aspects. Story: The story is pretty great for the most part. I think Naoe and Yasuke are interesting characters to follow the story in most cases, however I would definitely say naoe is canonically the main character as I find her more fitted in terms of how the story unfolds. Yasuke isnt that bad, I think he fits well in about 2-3 main areas of the game depending on the task like Omi for example. The end of the main game was bad in my opinion and a bit anti-climatic because of how the main bad guy gets defeated, I was hoping for more. The DLC definitely completes the overall plot and is handle better. This assassins creed feels more grounded compare to all the others because spoiler alert no ancient artifact or people are involved. The assassins arent really present either, although I get why people may dislike that the story does explain this and technically they are present in the dlc kind of. Gameplay: Its just any assassins creed game to me in my opinion of course inspiration from old and newer titles. I think the combat could be refined more, sometimes i would attack accidentally instead of assassinating an enemy or attack an enemy I'm not even targeting. When the combat works it feels ok, one thing I love is the nuance of how you can trigger certain feats you unlock in mastery. The parkour is pretty cool I think better than the recent titles not much i really have to say there. The hid in the shadows mechanic is usable for both characters, but obviously naoe makes better use of it. The side quest and missions were hit or miss, I dont like the kill specific enemy type personally. World/Atmosphere: This game really bring japan to life the culture, people, and events makes me feel like I'm experiencing the past first hand of course with the fictional exaggeration of being a ninja and what assassins creed is about. As beautiful as Japan is no landmarks or cities, really pop out partially because I'm not familiar with the history, however the landscapes were amazing and the dynamic weather and seasons. The Awaiji area is my favorite in terms of how the story affects the environment and I wish the main area did more of that. Characters: I already typed a bit about Naoe and Yasuke if I'm to be honest they arent my favorite characters in the series. There backstories are interesting, but I dont feel attached to them, eh I may lean towards naoe more. To address a controversy of the game it does feel like Yasuke is a side character, I think it would help if Ubisoft structure some missions better. For example during most quests and missions you get the option to play yasuke or naoe, I think this plays against them because it feels like the character you are not playing as is just there to be there or out of no where. These characters should be portrayed as working as a team as you move from region to region. I think they should follow the structure of assassins creed syndicate quests and missions. The people you recruit play a small role to the main story except maybe one which is fine. I wish there couldve been something special involving them helping you in the end of the main story. The kid jinjiro is meh, but hes more involved than the people you recruit thats diabolical. Conclusion: I think this game is alright despite my criticisms. I would consider this more of an assasins creed game than valhalla. Shadows does the culture/atmosphere well, a few hiccups in the story department but ended pretty strong(including the DLC), and combat could be refined. Its a game I think people should try despite what the internet and certain groups who disapproves of it may say.

  NICE AWESOME GAME

  meh

  Boring and corridor-like

  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.

  Ubi really redeemed themselves with this one, the best Ass Creed by 100 miles, 3.5 hours in, completely locked in. I didn't buy Shadow at launch because Ass creed Mirage was a such disgraceful scam, having trust issue + all the woke rumors with Yusuke etc. Well as it turns out, Shadow is a masterpiece. And if you really wanna a quality single player game packed with content and depth, stay away from tiktok & youtube reviewers, these places are where low IQ virigins hanging out. Now review on gameplay, Why this Shadow is a master piece and the best Creed? 1. The first AC in a long time actually overhauled 80% of its parkour & combat animation, that alone is a game changer, it feel like a true AC revamp compare to all ACs came before it 2. Extremely high production value paid off (pace is still too slow) High quality cut scene, good story, gorgeous graphic, great dialog. (highly recommend turning on immersion mode where all characters speak in their native tone) 3. Great skill progression system, so far 3.5 hours in, it's all Naoe's story and skill tree and I really don't feel like I missed Susuke lol! 4. Lots and lots content with unique quests and discoverable (did take a page from Ghost of Thushima) this time around it truly feels like an ass creed game that built from the ground up. Truly a great game ruined by all the Wokeness attack (there's little to be honest) if AC Mirage is a 1.5/10, than Shadow deserve a 8.5/10 sincerely. I can't recommend this game enough!

  Great game!

  [h2]Overall Impression[/h2] [b]This game is only worth recommending to those who just want to roam around Japan and explore.[/b] The gameplay is overloaded with side activities and a weak, unfinished main story that ends suddenly, with the “real” ending apparently locked behind a paid DLC. Nevertheless, I still somehow enjoyed it, and after playing something else, I’ll probably come back to finish the DLC hopefully at a discount, since, according to most reviews, it’s unfairly overpriced. [h2]Movement and Controls[/h2] For a game so focused on stealth, the movement system is surprisingly clunky. Climbing, sneaking, or entering windows often leads to your character doing the wrong thing, breaking immersion and causing frustration, especially during stealth sections. Even after my first 20 hours, the controls felt unreliable. [h2]Side Content and World Design[/h2] At first, exploring the world and completing side quests feels engaging, but it quickly becomes overwhelming. You clear a few missions, and the game buries you under dozens of others. What could’ve been meaningful side stories often turn into more kill lists. [h2]Visuals and Atmosphere[/h2] The changing seasons are a great visual touch, they don’t add much to gameplay, but make the world feel alive and dynamic. It’s satisfying to see the same areas shift through different seasons. [h2]Character Customization[/h2] Customization is one of the game’s highlights. You can personalize outfits, weapons, and its parts with solid depth. It doesn’t fix the game’s larger issues and the story, but for me it’s a genuinely enjoyable feature. [h2]Dual-Character Gameplay[/h2] The ability to switch between two characters adds gameplay variety. Naoe is designed for stealth, while Yasuke fot direct combats. When stealth gets repetitive, switching to Yasuke for a full-on assault keeps the experience fresh. [h2]Final Verdict[/h2] While there are some bright spots like the seasonal visuals, customization, and dual gameplay but they can’t fully redeem the game’s repetitive structure, clumsy movement, and underwhelming story. If you’re choosing between this and Ghost of Tsushima, pick Tsushima every time.

  pros: the graphics look nice cons:its boring and it feels like there's so much yet so little to do. World feels empty even though its filled with npc's

  ITS AC VALHALLAH BUT WITH A BLACK GUY WHO CANT DO PARKOUR

  Game will not launch on Steam. If I paid for a product, I expect it to work or get my money back; it's not complicated.

  I just love with Naoe
