    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.

    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 is good and just what I expected. I love BestBuy, but they use OnTrak ffor delivery, which I don't like. Bestbuy completed the order and shipping super fast as usual, but the problems fall on OnTrak. I live on the second floor, and every time OnTrak delivers to my place, they walk halfway up the stairs, and toss the parcel up to the landing. I often order electronics, so this is not good handling. Not only do they mishandle packages, they are almost always delayed. But the game, and bestbuy are great, high;y recommend!

    I only played the game for about hour and I was already impressed, awesome graphics and great gameplay, brutality of the game is a plus. It is rated M only, and takes a ton of gigabyte storage. Over 110+. Only issue I have is the gigabyte storage. About an hour to download plus you need internet access to download game. I give 4 stars just because of the gigabytes. Overall I am looking forward play the heck out out of the game.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Assassin’s Creed Shadows is everything I hoped for and more. The visuals are breathtaking—seriously, every scene feels like you’re walking through a cinematic masterpiece. The attention to detail in the setting, especially the architecture and landscapes, is unreal. The dual protagonist dynamic is a refreshing twist. Both characters are unique, and switching between them adds a fun layer to the gameplay. The stealth mechanics are smooth, and the combat is incredibly satisfying. I also really love how the storyline unfolds—it’s rich, emotional, and keeps me hooked. As for Best Buy, the pre-order process was simple, and I got the game right on time. The packaging was secure and in perfect condition. If you’re an Assassin’s Creed fan or just love an open-world adventure with depth, you won’t be disappointed. Can’t wait to keep exploring!

    This game really shows how amazing the graphics are in the PS5, and the story behind the gameplay is great. Would recommend to get this game for your first PS5 game.

    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.

    If you like the AC games it’s more of the same. The hunting down the circle of targets has been expanded to multiple year lines, and thus even more targets. You have 2 playable characters. One is your traditional number assassin. The other is a brutal samurai, whose power can provide a nice change of pace. You are able to utilize shadows and elongation of light sources to increase effectiveness. There’s also changing seasons which you can use to your advantage. Only real negative, is the map is large, but that’s come to be the formula since Origins into Odyssey and then Valhalla. The new scout mechanic helps with the large map and finding your targets.

    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.

    This was a good purchase in my opinion. The game offers a plethora of activities and is fun although at times repetitive. Playing a ninja only outdone by getting to be a samurai!

    A surprisingly challenging gameplay experience. It’s no Souls game, but the combat changes are welcome and you do feel like your mastery and level matter, as you become more proficient, you feel more like a master assassin and samurai.

    One if the best games I ever played. It has the best graphics. I have always been AC big fan and I might beat this game multiple times with different difficulty levels. The fact that it plays with both players, stealth and full throttle is a game changer.
