Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great pricing, quick and simple checkout, item showed up very quickly and in great condition. Game is 10/10. Definitely recommend!

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a solid entry in the series — especially if you love stealth, samurai settings, or just exploring beautifully built world spaces. But it doesn’t quite reach great due to repetitive moments and some design choices that limit freedom. If you’re a big fan of the franchise or open-world stealth games, it’s worth it — maybe on sale. If you’re more casual or looking for innovation, you might want to wait for patches or reduced price.

One of the coolest Assassin's creed games I've ever played so far! Very immersive and the Japanese setting is trylu a remarkable experience

Best Black Friday deal of the year. Def worth the money I spent

It’s a really good game. Ubisoft outdid themselves with this one. Runs really well on the PS5 and looks stunning. I don’t experience any drops in frame rate. I would recommend this title.

Purchased this for my sons Easter basket, only to have him open it and find a ripped DVD-RW labeled Rocky and Bullwinkle. After my son came up visibly upset about why the Easter Bunny would do something like this. After looking at the shrink wrap which was brittle and the case which looks like something was damaging it I’m shocked Best Buy customer support would not raise a question and inspect the case. Now my son’s upset, the Potomac Mills store is closed and my youngest is aware there’s no Easter Bunny…thanks Best Buy

Assassin's Creed Shadows delivers an exciting and immersive experience that successfully blends stealth, action, and exploration in feudal Japan. The dual protagonists provide unique gameplay styles, allowing players to approach missions with either careful precision or direct combat. The world is beautifully crafted, with changing seasons, detailed environments, and impressive visuals that truly shine on the PlayStation 5. Combat feels satisfying, and the progression system encourages experimenting with different abilities and strategies. Side activities and exploration add plenty of content beyond the main story, making the world feel alive and rewarding to explore. Whether you're a longtime Assassin's Creed fan or new to the series, Shadows offers a compelling adventure with memorable characters, engaging gameplay, and hours of entertainment. It's a fantastic addition to the franchise and well worth playing.

I’ve been waiting for an Assassin’s Creed game set in feudal Japan for years, and Assassin’s Creed Shadows finally delivers that experience in a really exciting way. From the moment you start exploring the world, it’s clear that Ubisoft put a lot of effort into making the setting feel alive. The landscapes are absolutely beautiful — from dense forests and quiet villages to massive castles and changing seasons. Just traveling through the world and discovering new locations is honestly one of the best parts of the game. One of the coolest features is the dual-protagonist system. You get to play as Naoe, a stealthy ninja, and Yasuke, a powerful samurai, and each character feels completely different. Naoe plays more like the classic Assassin’s Creed style with stealth, climbing, and sneaking into enemy strongholds. Yasuke, on the other hand, is all about direct combat and brute strength. Switching between the two characters makes missions feel fresh because you can approach situations in totally different ways depending on your playstyle. Combat is fun and satisfying, especially when playing as Yasuke and cutting through enemies with powerful attacks. Stealth with Naoe is also really rewarding when you pull off a clean infiltration without being detected. The game encourages experimentation, which makes every encounter feel a little different. That said, the game isn’t perfect. The story is decent but not the most memorable in the series, and some of the side activities can start to feel repetitive if you’re trying to do absolutely everything on the map. I also ran into a few minor bugs here and there, though nothing that completely ruined the experience. Overall, though, I had a great time with Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The world is gorgeous, exploring feudal Japan is incredibly immersive, and the two-character system adds a lot of variety to the gameplay. If you’re a fan of open-world games or Assassin’s Creed in general, this is definitely a game worth checking out.

I ordered this item as a last minute christmas gift and it arrived the very next day. The price was lower than any other retail site so it was a great deal as well. My son is enjoying the game, the graphics are great and the stealth gameplay is top tier. Id recommend to anyone that is a fan of the series.

When I bought this game it was on sale, and so far it has not disappoint! I've put almost 100 hours and have not done everything in the game. The storyline is great and the side missions are just as great. I haven't been able to stop playing since I got it. The Assassins Creed games have never disappointed me and the latest one has yet to do that. The game play has been really good! Graphics are great! I would recommend anyone who is wanting to play this to do so. It's really good!

Fun gameplay and graphics story was great with very large map

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is an amazing addition to the series and absolutely worth playing. The feudal Japan setting is beautifully designed, with incredible attention to detail that makes exploration exciting and immersive. Every area feels alive, from quiet villages to intense battle zones. The dual-character gameplay is a great feature, allowing you to switch between stealth-focused missions and powerful combat moments. The stealth mechanics feel smooth and rewarding, while combat is intense and satisfying. The storyline is engaging, emotional, and keeps you invested throughout the game. Overall, Assassin’s Creed Shadows delivers stunning visuals, strong gameplay, and a memorable experience. Highly recommended for fans of action, stealth, and open-world games.

Just a gorgeous rendering of feudal Japan. What's interesting is that you alternate between two characters and two play styles. One is more stealthy while the other is more brutish which breaks up the monotony of fighting. The seasonal changes also break up the monotony of the landscape. You also have the option to design your own base of operations. Overall I would say its similar to other AC games but just different enough to keep it interesting.

What’s Great • Stunning world & visuals: Feudal Japan is breathtakingly recreated with detailed environments, seasonal weather effects, and cultural immersion — “the most beautiful open-world ever seen”  . • Dual protagonists: Plays well to your style — Naoe delivers slick stealth, Yasuke offers satisfying brute power . • Refined gameplay: Combat and stealth have been polished — tighter, strategic, and more rewarding than in past entries (). • Big content package: Over 100 hours of main quests, side missions, and exploration — deep and immersive . What’s Rough • Repetitive structure: Side quests and progression can feel grindy and formulaic . • Story pacing issues: The narrative sometimes feels disjointed and less compelling toward the end . • Gameplay safety: It leans conservative, offering little mechanical innovation beyond improvements to core systems . Final Word (82 Metacritic) Assassin’s Creed Shadows is arguably one of the most polished and visually stunning entries in the series, bringing back the franchise’s stealth roots with confidence. If you’re a fan of open‑world RPGs and immersive historical settings, it’s a must-try — but don’t expect bold experimentation or deep, varied mission design.

This game is exceptional! I've played previous AC games but would eventually grow tired of the tedious gameplay. This one seems to have gotten the game mechanics and challenges just right to keep the player always engaged. I keep coming back to visit the gorgeousness of a fully realized Japan and the vastness of that world and the characters that inhabit it.

[Employee of bestbuy] WOWOWOW! I didn't think the series could get better after Valhalla but boy was I wrong! AC Shadows is breathe of fresh air - exhilerating fun with beautiful surroundings and atmospheres at every turn you take! If you're a die hard AC fan like myself then I can't recommend this game enough! 5/5 storyline, gameplay, character development, weapons! I personally enjoy it all, thanks ubisoft!

Must Play on ps5 pro! Great deal through best buy price match too! best buy better not change that policy! This game got many updates and is now a complete masterpiece!

A fun game with historical characters from Japan's history. Not a huge fan of R1 and L1 being the buttons for combat but everything is smooth and beautiful in the environment and combat.

I’ve played Assassin’s Creed since the beginning, and it’s been crazy to see how much the franchise has grown. Honestly though, the last few games just didn’t hit for me the same way after Desmond died. They weren’t bad, but they felt like they were missing that spark. That’s why this one surprised me. I’ve been enjoying it a lot. The setting feels fresh and different, and it’s easily the most unique vibe we’ve had since Black Flag. It feels like a step in the right direction, and I really think it could be a turning point for the series. If you’ve been on the fence, I’d recommend it.

The game gets a lot of hate and I absolutely do not know why, the game is amazing from graphics to the story. Voice acting is a little stale but overall amazing game.
