    Black Flag Vibez

    Brings back Black Flag vibes after all these years I’ve skipped every AC title until Shadows. The sheer amount of work visibly put into the game’s development this time around was enough to pull me in. • Smooth Handheld & 30 FPS Docked • Truly Open World but Portable! • GUI is overwhelming / Feels Cluttered • Gore! (With option of gore: OFF) Well done Ubisoft even though it’s speculated to still be a failure.

    Must add!!

    Looks great on the switch 2 port after the update. The visuals look great and there are hours of gameplay. A definite add to your switch 2 collection.

    Review of THE GAME ONLY

    Not going to get into any "discussion" of historical interpretations or inaccuracies. And not going to have some gaijin tell me about my history & culture. That being said, this is a solid, well optimized title that plays well on the Switch 2 with only a few crashes (as I have experienced). Yes, there are some pop-in in some scenes but it does not take away from what Ubisoft was able to achieve. I do recommend this for any fan of the newer, Assassin's Creeds as it is Open World.

    AC shadows switch 2

    Plays awesome on handheld mode. Got it mostly for portability, I own it on the steam deck but def better on switch 2. The 30fps is smooth on switch 2 compared to steameck.
