By far one of the best AC Games in a while. I normally do not spend over 100 hours on a game but this one I definitely did. it had a great story, graphics and the game play was addictive. if you like open world 3rd person then this is the one you want to jump on in the series for the modern PS5 platform.

Okay this game is definitely worth the money. A lot to explore, great details in graphics. Missions are decent. I love the way Japanese culture is implemented in this game! If you’re not previously use to AC gameplay, it can feel a little clunky at times but overall doesn’t take away from the experience! Great game so far and I’m 90 hours in lol!

Game looks amazing on PS5 Pro. Solid story and very non linear.. pick up and go where you want. Run across quest lines and people even if not on that path that you can take out. Like playing as Naoe vs Yasuke. She is an assassin and he's a tank. Different play styles. One negative to me is nothing connecting to present day like previous AC games

Assassins creed in Japan is a much needed upgrade

One of the best assassins creed games in a long time. The stealth, combat are widely improved from the last games. Naoe is a great character but the forced inclusion of a second character makes the story and gameplay clunky. There is still way to much bloat and repetitive gameplay/environments but if you enjoy them that can be a good thing.

Customer service was excellent. Associate located the one copy of the game in the store and provided info on other items i was interested in.
The game play is awesome, the graphics draw you in and the landscapes and environments are a work of art. The incorporation of actual historical figures is both educational and entertaining as well.

A Relaxing Adventure in a Stunning World

I'm enjoying the game. It has beautiful environments and large areas to explore, the story has kept me interested so far, the combat could be better felt a little floaty and missing impact if you know what I mean. But I'm having a good time and it is kind of relaxing just walking around exploring listening to the winds and rain and looking the world around you...

AC Shadows is a great game. Bought open box PS5 Slim on same day that had not been checked. It was in safe mode but I fixed it with a USB software update and was playing in no time. Purchase online was quick, pick up was easy, and plan to buy more consoles and games from Best Buy in the future!

A Return to Form for Assassin's Creed

Surprisingly very fun and very beautiful on the PlayStation 5 Pro. I'm not a fan of the recent Assassin's Creed games at all, so I wasn't sure what to expect here, but I love the more stylish and action-oriented combat, the return of true stealth/assassin gameplay, and the vast open world of Japan.

That game is fun from core graphics to mechanics. So far this game has been intense with the magnitude of fights and cinematic events. The one issue I have is the dual main characters as I’m not a fan of that. I wish to play as one character the entire game.
