Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Ultimately I'm giving this game a positive review but I feel very split down on the middle on it. For everything the game does good I feel like it lacks somewhere else. The story itself is so very mid every step along the way. If you don't own the Claw's of Awaji expansion Naoe's story remains unfinished by the time credits roll. I was genuinely so confused when I didn't have anymore missions for her after completing the last one since it's a cliffhanger, only to find out it gets addressed in the $25 paid DLC. Yasuke's story feels so anti-climactic as well that I also didn't realize it was even the last mission of the game. The mission in itself also reveals Yasuke's entire motivation that I feel should have been revealed earlier in the story to make the player more want to get through it more. The entire time I'm mostly doing things because the game is giving me a list and I'm just checking things off. Not because I know why, aside from just revenge. Gamemplay wise, it's an Assassins Creed of the RPG era. If you played Origins, Odyssey, or Valhalla, then you know what you're getting into. I personally enjoy the combat but probably not as much as I did Odyssey, and especially not as much as Valhalla's with being able to change what you wield in both hands, leading to some interesting combinations. Noae can feel incredibly weak sometimes but is incredibly efficient when it comes to stealth gameplay. Yasuke you are perpetually bonking into walls and doorways everytime you sprint but he lays out enemies within a few swings and feels very good to play. These however, are my biggest gripe of the game. I enjoy the split story and having two protagonists and every single fortress, mission, etc all feel like there's no real wrong option character wise. However, switching between them is absolutely awful and I wish it was incorporated better. You have to go into the menu, hold down square/X, and then go into a loading screen and then back out to the game as the other character. On PC, not a huge deal but still annoying. On PS5 however, where half my playtime was spent, it's a good 10-15 seconds loading every time I need to switch to Naoe to climb a tower for a synchronization, or another 10-15 switching to Yasuke to do a Kata. It feels like Ubisoft forgot the entire game takes place inside the Animus with a user controlling the characters like avatars. Would it be too much to ask for being able to press a button to quickly switch characters within reason? One of the big positives for the game however is the world. Every single part of the map is absolutely stunning and just riding around on horseback I constantly find myself looking around at how beautiful it is. The sound design as well. Between the music, the rustling of trees, the wind, it all ties together phenomenally and did make the experience very nice to play.

Pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to pay for the game and then for the game to go on sale less than 24 hours later and then be told to ♥♥♥♥ off by steam.

too repetitive, graphic are very good, but the gameplay stood the same as 10 years ago

il gioco continua a crashare randomicamente su steam deck, nonostante sia verificato (A volte dopo un dialogo, a volte dopo una fight, a volte dopo aver cambiato un'arma, a volte mentre sto correndo) e questo sta mettendo a dura prova la voglia di completare il gioco. La grafica, le ambientazioni e l'atmosfera sono belle, ma il gameplay é abbastanza mediocre, le collisioni e gli appigli nella natura sono imperfetti, spesso non si arrampica dove dovebbe, correre nelle foreste per andare da una missione all'altra o per raggiungere un punto panoramico è tragico e ci si ritrova a non vedere nulla perchè lo schermo sarà occupato da migliaia di foglie, arbusti e alberi tutti troppo vicini in modo confuso. Viste le distanze è ottimo che abbiano messo il percorso automatico, ma la dinamica dell'usare le reclute per cercare le missioni sulla mappa allunga soltanto il gameplay che è già molto lungo di suo. I dialoghi sono spesso molto clichè, lenti e sembrano scritti da una IA. Le animazioni facciali sono spesso minime o troppo artificiali e i momenti che dovrebbero far commuovere mancano di quella scrittura e regia che le renderebbe d'effetto. la maggior parte delle missioni danno l'impressione di essere troppo sidequest e perdono l'importanza che dovrebbe spingerti a farle, invece di essere lì solo per fare contenuto per chi vuole livellare (almeno questa è stata la mia impressione) Insomma, un mappazzone di cose belle e brutte, mal gestite, scritte e dirette in modo poco ottimale e mal ottimizzate su steam deck. c'è poca originalità, i rift sono contenuti mediocri che non aggiungono molto e non fanno venir molta voglia di cercarli per completarli. Qui bisogna cambiare strategia.
