Wow this uhm is a whole lot of nothing... The positives first. The game looks amazing, sound design is great and it runs super smooth with all the nice NVIDIA features but thats about it. Naoe and Yasuke are so bland its really a shame. The story of a young shinobi and the first black samurai could be so interesting, but instead they decided to go with the most generic revenge plot you could imagine and without the templars and assassins. Yasuke is just there for the ride and doesnt get anything to do, but in the absolute last minute he gets something to do and kills some templars they just squeezed in there and it really is laughable how they did it. Naoe on the other hand gets her dad killed and kills a bunch of randos who arent connected to the templars, oh sure the templars helped them build someting, wow really interesting... You never get to know whats in the box, which got stolen from you and the assassins in this, are basically just an origins story. At some point youre on...

Really enjoyed the game. The environment, weather and season change mechanic was insanely immersive. Stealth is also one of the best in the series, but the only thing lacking to me was the storytelling, it could’ve been better. Other than that a very solid game

"This isn’t a perfect game or a groundbreaking one—but it’s one I connected with, and that made it worth every hour." After putting over 75 hours into Assassin's Creed Shadows, I can confidently say this game is worth experiencing—despite all the wrongs Ubisoft may have done in the past. It's definitely a grindy game, and like AC Odyssey, you’ll need to invest time to level up and farm your way through progression. But if you enjoy that type of gameplay loop, the reward is there. The story is strong, and the characters are very well-written. Every main and side character feels like they have their own purpose, background, and growth. I was genuinely able to connect with many of them. Even after so many hours, I didn’t feel bored. Sure, there are repetitive moments—it has the same here-and-there vibes as past entries—but the beauty of the world pulled me in. Roaming through feudal Japan is just stunning. The environment design, architecture, and attention to det...

I don't know man. I feel like from odyssey its straight downgrade every single game. Story feels really bland. At least in valhalla we had some precursors elements, some fantasy stuff. Here ? Just some ac elements with assassins being somewhere out there but not in japan. Come on, just 1 base in the whole of Japan? I wish they finally could take the story seriously. I mean mirage was such a good step up just to roll down again with this. I know about the drama but couldn't care less. It is still a GENERIC ac game. New mechanics are bad, so bad you can just turn them off. Game looks nice but that's about it - Visuals: The Game. Shop ofc comes back with things being expensive as ever. Waiting for dlc to maybe bring some assassins into Assassin's Creed. TLDR: If you didn't like valhalla, you won't like this game too. Esp cuz they cut heavy on sidequests where in valhalla they were fun sometimes.

After dedicating 200 hours to this game, I can confidently say it's well worth the time. The story is consistently engaging, especially with Yasuke and Naoe's individual arcs. The voice acting could use some polish, but it's far from terrible. Combat is fluid and requires strategic play, setting it apart from earlier titles. The parkour system is a notable upgrade, featuring new mechanics like prone movement and a grappling hook for environmental traversal. The weapons are unique, each offering distinct perks, abilities, and finishers. My main issue is Ubisoft's choice of a fog of war-style map, which complicates exploration in feudal Japan's complex terrains. Despite this, I'd give the game an 8 out of 10, mainly due to minor issues with voice acting and the map design. Overall, it's a well-made game, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for the Assassin's Creed series.

Yes and no Love playing as Naoe, typical AC type character, stealth, assassinations, bit of sword play, great. Fun doing the castles and forts, quests are fun too, progression and game play excellent and graphically nice too. Played every AC game over the years, Naoe has all the things you would expect in a AC game, jumping, climbing, air kills, duel kills, hiding etc etc. If that was it I would give the game 9/10 but unfortunately thats not it and for me they ruined the game. How did they ruin it? Yasuke. We now have 2 protagonists, Yasuke being the second. He is a big, clumsy, beefy tank who cannot do any of the things Naoe can. In 40 yrs gaming I have never played this type of character and there has never been one in a AC game before. I thought you could play as either or , so I could just ignore him but no, the story quests REQUIRE you use him, you cannot finish quest lines without using him which pissed me off to be honest. Now this is my opinion, you may think differently...

A strange copy of Ghost of Tsushima’s ideas, delivered in an incomplete way that I really didn’t like. The game was a bit fun when playing as Naoe, but there’s always something that breaks the Assassin’s Creed atmosphere — almost like the game doesn’t even want to be Assassin’s Creed. As for Yasuke, his character felt boring and heavy. I couldn’t climb anything without him struggling, and his weight made me not want to continue playing. Overall, I’d give the game a 5/10. Some things really ruined the experience for me. At first, I thought about completing it 100%, but I’ve already changed my mind.

Do not every buy any games made by Ubisoft. your ubisoft account will get hacked and you will lose everything. My account got hacked they changed the email address and password and now Ubisoft wont shutdown the account or let me transfer game files to my new account that i had to make. they will send a verification email to the hackers email address and then say you cant verify the account so too bad you're not getting your account back. I hope these fucking cunts get shot by luigi they fucking deserve it.

Only get this if it's on a deep sale. It's just a bloated poor imitation of Ghost of Tsushima. I like that Yasuke and Naoe play different. I also like how depending on the weapon equipped Naoe can perform different attacks. The map is way too big and it's just aimless filler of checking off target lists, adding nothing to the story. The QTE Kata and meditation games are half baked and I can see what they were going for, but sadly I kept thinking "this was done better in Ghost of Tsushima" ubisoft wasted a decade chasing whales with microtransactions when they could've probably made this game after Black Flag. I can tell you what happened in basically every AC game up to Origins. With the latest titles idk wtf happened after I watched the credits roll. Big worlds full of fluff. Yasuke is basically the only character to have a concise story. Naoe's ends in sequel bait. Get it on deep sale, otherwise save your money.

SWEET BABY INC Feminist Game that hates men!!! Youre entire team, excluding Yaskue, is 8 woman and 2 men and 1 "non-binary" 10 year old kid. Not Assassins Creed. Its a Action Adventure game based on Sengoku period. In 90 hours (not even half way) I havent heard the words "Assassin" or "Templar" one time. Ive also fell asleep watching cutscenes 4 times. CUTSCENES ARE CAPPED AT 30FPS AND REQUIRE A 3RD PARTY GITHUB FILE TO GET 60FPS CUTSCENES. The gameplay is literally a copy and paste of Valhalla. The entire game IS Valhalla just reskinned with a Historical Sengoku skin. If you only care about graphics then buy this game because thats the only thing thats great about it.
