    It may be updated to go higher but right a solid 8.

    People need to play the gamebfir themselves. I can already tell some of these reviews bashing the game is just trolls. It's how everything is worded. They are so desperate to throw disdain it's entirely possible they may have started the game and immediately got off it without even getting past the menu. Or they are complaining about traditional things with the series and then saying it's nothing new. If you don't like the traditional gameplay that make it assassin's creed then you were never gonna like it anyway. Your review isn't really valued as you went in with a preconceived notion you were gonna hate so you look for anything to support that theory and then call it justifiable when it's not.

    Now so far I've made it a little past the prologue and it's pretty good so far. They do push you to play the characters as they are intended. The female is fast and agile and very deadly when used as intended. If you try to take out more than two enemies at a time there's a likely chance you won't survive it. She's stealth based. Use her that way. As far at the tank goes. He's quite formidable. I haven't played as him much but don't really intend to. The samurai gameplay isn't really my cup of tea. The Shinobi is more assassin based and what I prefer. So all in all it feels more origins toned but at the same time the girl coming to acquire the hidden blade seemed very ezio story inspired but take it how you will.

    A Gorgeous and Engaging First Experience

    A very well made game. I have to admit I've never played any of the Assassin's Creed games, except for this one. I've only seen clips and people play the other games.

    It reminds me of Ghost of Tsushima, which is also a really good game as well.

    The story is well made and quite engaging for me. The gameplay is good too and most of it is reliable on exploration, which is like Ghost of Tsushima. The graphics are great, which offer really nice scenes. I love how we can play different characters that are both completely different and have their own story.

    Naoe is more of a stealth character and she is better used when needing to be quiet and quick. While Yasuke, who is based off of a real samurai, is more of a brute and meant to fight bigger battles. Each of the characters have different game styles, which some gamers could appreciate.

    Overall the story is quite long but enjoyable. The gameplay is adventurous and heavily relies on you exploring the land. The characters are well developed and have their own unique stories and abilities tied to them. Making it an amazing game.

    Back on form

    Shadows is absolutely superb. An incredibly rich story that manages to draw you in and tug at your heart strings. Amazing mechanics. A vast amount of content that never grows old. A true return to form. The only downside are the completely baseless and totally predictable negative reviews from the die-hard anti-Ubisoft brigade who delight in hating anything from this studio. You should just go back to Fortnite and keep your prepubescent opinions to yourselves!

    Ignore the 1/10 reviewers, I guarantee they have never played it or have any intention to.

    This game is not Ghost of Tsushima. It's far deeper and more varied. There's room enough for more than two accident Japanese RPGs however. If you are a fan of well written and well acted stories, Shadows won't disappoint..

    Make Ubisofr great again

    Beautiful since the begining, nicely built narrative, marvelous production design. You really feel like you were on feudal times Japan. Best AC since Odyssey

    Game incrível, um dos melhores assassins de todos os tempos. Existe inclusive um breve vislumbre do que está por vir no assassins creed Black flag remake. Jogão!!!

    Easily the best AC game ... and arguably the most beautiful game ever (open-world or not).. While it's true the gameplay is slightly **** I do enjoy every minute of it.....whether fighting, exploring different precincts or simply watching the cutscenes as the story progresses...

    Very good

    Don't understand the hate on it. It s a very good game.

    Story 9/10 Combat 9/10 Parkour 10/10 (something new but you can t do it everywhere) Characters 10/10 (IT WAS A BLACK SAMURAI BACK THEN) I playd it since it released and personally I m gald that I did that. A new story , combat , parkour and I really like that you can choose with what character you can play. If you want to feel like you are playing the old assassin's creed don t choose Yasuke. He's good for kombat but he can't do parkour, witch is kinda stupid but at least he can fight. It s a tank and if you want to feel that your are a assassins don't choose him.

      Yasuke: In his arms, I found something I never thought I'd have in this land-peace.

    • Alternate versions
      Due to CERO's strict policies, the Japanese version of the game was modified to remove all traces of gore from the game. For example, dismemberment is no longer possible in the Japanese version. Also the violence settings were removed from the options menu as well.
