Many also praised the overall performance and the game's beautiful, well-realized setting in ancient Japan. While some felt the story could have been more engaging and the voice acting needed improvement, the positive feedback on other aspects largely outweighs these criticisms.

    Coming from low expectations I'm surprisingly enjoying the game. Gameplay: This is one of the best in the series as it feels the most fluid. Parkour feels more natural than others. Graphics: The best in the series. Story: It's okay but the English voice acting is mediocre.

    Absolutely love the setting. I have played about 8 hours and love the gameplay. Combat feels fluid and meaningful. They changed the way you navigate to detect the enemies. This game is a nice mix of the mechanics I loved from Assassin's Creed. I also love the build a hideout to have a home in the world.

    The game is very beautiful and brings back a more standard AC combat. I enjoyed the whole game and found myself wanted to complete each group of people to hunt down. The only complaints I have are with the world being not as explorable, having to switch between the characters, and the random loot engravings. For the world, you are having to constantly rely on pathfinder and not being able to cut through the trees and mountains. The loot is always random engravings, making it difficult to find gear you want for your build without luck. There are certain objectives you have to be Naoe or Yasuke and it can be annoying. I would rather be able to pick one and keep them the whole time. Overall would recommend playing. It is enjoyable and has a decent story that keeps you in.

    Its a great game in itself. The story is fantastic along with the visuals and gameplay. They need to work on voice acting and bots and trying to bring the story that is happening in the outside world back together in just the games.

    I love the game. While it is very challenging at times, the difficulty can be fairly easy by running away and stealth. Some find the game repetitive from previous versions and I sort of agree but there are elements added that are different and the graphics are beautiful being in Japan so it’s a beautiful game and I’m enjoying it and it looks absolutely stunning on the PlayStation five along with my LG OLED C4 TV.

    Lots of nonsense online about this game, but those things didn't bother me. The game was fun and gameplay was good. Story wasn't bad, and it has to normal Ubisoft complaints, but the game is good.

    Purchased Assassin’s Creed Shadows from Best Buy and couldn’t be happier. The ordering process was quick and easy, and the game itself is incredible. The visuals are stunning, the story is engaging, and the dual characters (Naoe and Yasuke) make the gameplay feel fresh and exciting. Loving the return to stealth mechanics too. Definitely worth it if you're a fan of the series or just looking for a great open-world experience. Highly recommend!

    I'm diving deep into the shadows, exploring the latest Assassin's Creed installment on PS5. The graphics are stunning, bringing the world to life with incredible detail. I'm particularly impressed with the fluidity of the combat. The storyline is captivating, pulling me deeper into the assassin's world with each mission. The level design is intricate and encourages exploration. Join me as I uncover the secrets hidden within the shadows! #AssassinsCreed #PS5 #Gaming

    One of the better Assassin's Creed games

    I've been a fan of the series since AC 2. The previous 2 games were not great at all. This one is much better. The pro's are it's actually fun to play and a lot to do. The combat is ok, graphics are nice. The cons are there is way too much to do, a lot of empty space and no real change to the combat. Many of the side quest are the same (kill x enemies). So those get boring quickly. Overall a worthy purchase.

    Assassin’s Creed Shadows delivers a rich and immersive journey through feudal Japan, marking a standout entry in Ubisoft’s long-running series. Set during the late Sengoku period, the game introduces two protagonists: Naoe, a stealthy shinobi, and Yasuke, a formidable samurai. This dual-character approach offers players varied gameplay experiences, blending traditional Assassin’s Creed stealth mechanics with intense melee combat.

    Honestly, no one cares what others think. Since the announcement of this game, there has been bigotry revolving around it. The staff at Ubisoft works hard to provide us with these beautiful games. To enjoy this game, it is well developed and has great substance to it. It’s just brutally disgusting with the mindset of others. For those who love the Assassin’s Creed, please don’t let any negative deter you from enjoying a great game. 10/10 for me.

    People love to complain about Ubi’s open world design ethos but this is one of the most beautiful, thoroughly realized worlds I’ve ever experienced. It’s a treat just walking through the (vast!) environment and experiencing weather and seasons that feel real. The game itself isn’t a drastic departure from previous AC games but personally I really enjoy the formula and always feel like I got my money’s worth.

    Honestly very happy they went back on what made assassins creed games great. After Mirage i was skeptical on how this one would come out. I have been playing this game nonstop anytime i have free time. All of the additions are great and make the game feel more progressive.

    I've been waiting a while for an AC game grab me like the early generation did (1 thru syndicate) it's gameplay is great and the setting is something I've wanted for quite some time. If you own a Pro the graphics on this are gorgeous. Ive also played it just to test on a base PS5 and they are pretty good there top but on the Pro it takes the graphics to another level close to or on par with Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.

    I don’t really enjoy assassins creeds games, but decided to give it a try since reviews seem good. I really enjoy it. There’s so many things to do and you never really get bored. Combat is sick. My nephew really loves playing it every time he comes over as well
