Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 12.57/day in the week to Sep 18 → 36.83/day in the week after.
About
“Shadows is some of the most fun I’ve had with a stealth game in a decade” —PC Gamer
Play as Naoe, a quick-witted shinobi, and use light, sound, and shadows to evade detection. Infiltrate enemy strongholds with many parkour options including the new grappling hook, distract guards with shuriken or smoke bombs, and assassinate your targets with your Hidden Blade. As the samurai Yasuke, use silent bow takedowns or unleash devastating melee combos with your katana or naginata.
Switch between these two heroes to adapt your strategy and experience feudal Japan through two radically different approaches – stealth and strength, shadows and steel.

Reviews
I approached this installment with low expectations, and thank goodness for that, because if I had been hoping for a hit, I would have been deeply disappointed. The setting of feudal Japan is a brilliant theme, but it was incredibly poorly executed. The plot is terribly stiff. Due to a badly written script, I couldn't connect with the characters' stories at all – even Naoe and Yasuke turned out to be quite bland in the end. On the positive side, however, I must praise the stealth system. It is highly enjoyable and probably the best stealth in the history of the entire series. The diverse weapon arsenal also stands out as a plus, though the enthusiasm fades when it comes to creating builds. The RPG system is shallow, as in practice, there are only 4 sensible gear configurations worth using. As someone who likes to complete games to 100%, I experienced a real ordeal here. Forcing the player to replay the same stages and clear domains—which requires over 30 hours of mindless grinding just to pop an achievement and never return to the game—is a pathetic and artificial way to prolong playtime. It shouldn't look like this in these types of games. In conclusion, the direction Ubisoft took simply hurts. The potential for a great story and Japanese atmosphere was completely wasted. The characters are boring, hard to like, and quickly forgotten, while the gameplay itself becomes terribly repetitive over time. Rating: A solid 6/10.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 5: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
Latest in each market: best KR #35, worst CA #97 · 13 markets collected
US · last 30 days
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 20 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10.5 places towards #1, and the 2,491 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

终于啃完了这一部，甚至耗时比英灵殿还多，不过也正常，大部分时间都跑路和看风景去了。 本作有着目前刺客最好的画面，最好的动态设计，最好的风景，最好的日出日落，最好的四季变换，最好的忍者动作，最后加上最无聊的玩法。 是的，这一部玩起来就跟上班一样，跑路半天也没有鸟览点，除非你去清据点，然后找半小时大将，各种小游戏连抄都抄不会，那个跑马射箭和武形是真的刷新了小游戏无聊的下限。没有面补的动画，导致过场全程没有一点带入，NPC和主角各种伪人表情，整体游玩下来就是重复重复重复重复，加上剧情和刺客系列里的主线基本上一点推进也没有，纯粹就是日本战国的那点事，导致游玩乐趣是真的低。最后还有零探索感的世界，地图四处都是树林，完全不需要走岔路，最好的探索方法就是开自动移动然后看附近有啥收集。 但风景是真的漂亮，每次四季动画都觉得很惊艳，各种建筑，时不时梦回太阁立志传和天诛的感觉，还有目前最强的PS手柄适配，讲道理我完全是这个风景和手柄支撑玩下来的。 还是好评吧，毕竟风景是真的太漂亮了，这一部就跟一个空花瓶一样，好看，但里面啥也没有。
Se acquisti un gioco ubisoft moderno sai a cosa vai incontro: scrittura pessima e missioni dalla struttura ripetiva sono le croci ormai onnipresenti. Va però riconosciuto a Ubisoft la capacità di creare dei mondi pieni di dettagli, cura, realismo e un grande rispetto nella ricerca della ricostruzione storica (con qualche libertà, certo, che però viene sempre segnalata) e un level design che, in questo capitolo, brilla davvero (quando si usa Naoe) e salva parzialmente il gioco dall'elemento ripetività. Le attività secondarie sono più interessanti e infinitamente meno tediose che in Valhalla. La divisione del gameplay tra Naoe e Yasuke è intrigante, anche se funziona parzialmente in quanto per il 90% ci si ritrova a giocare Naoe (che fornisce l'esperienza più completa). Il gameplay di Naoe è veramente il migliore mai fatto da Ubisoft a livello di stealth in un Assassin's Creed. Manca il "social stealth" vero, ma se si evita di farne una questione identitaria del brand, ho sempre trovato l'elemento del social stealth piuttosto marginale e sono ben più contento di avere un vero e proprio sistema di luci/ombre/velocità funzionante piuttosto che avere delle opportunità molto contestuali di nascondermi tra un gruppo di persone che, casualmente, sarà vicino al percorso del tuo target. Veramente mi sento di consigliare l'acquisto solo per la cura con cui viene rappresentato il Giappone e lo sforzo fatto per rappresentarlo al meglio in tutte le stagioni. L'unico grande peccato (per me più della scrittura e della struttura missioni che ormai le considero un marchio di fabbrica) è la mancanza della tourist mode che hanno rimosso da Mirage. Veramente per me quella valeva spesso da sola il prezzo del gioco e credo che collezionare informazioni storiche a spizzichi e bocconi non abbia lo stesso impatto di percorsi ben strutturati e ricchi di dettagli.
