Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Mastery points arent added to the mastery menu. From online forums i see this problem persists for over a year. Lovely to know how little Ubisoft thinks of their paying customers. Voice acting and facial expression is as one would expect from an IKEA table-dull,wooden,cheap-almost as bad as it was in AC Mirage. i truly cannot belive such a half finished product has a single positive review.

除风景外一无是处

风景很好 但内容太多 玩到后期有些重复 整体而言还是可以的

Going into Assassin's Creed Shadows, I was incredibly excited. Feudal Japan was a setting I'd wanted Assassin's Creed to explore for years, and honestly, one of the biggest reasons I bought the game was Naoe. Let me be clear, she's a short haired Asian woman so she's 100% my type. Unfortunately, my first impressions weren't great. The story failed to hook me, the facial animations often felt stiff, and the voice direction for several characters was surprisingly weak. Certain character themes and musical cues came across as corny rather than memorable, making dramatic moments lose some of their impact. While the game is undeniably beautiful (duh triple A game), its presentation sometimes held back the emotional weight of the narrative. I also wasn't a fan of some of the RPG mechanics. Assassin's Creed has changed a lot over the years, but health bars, leveling systems, and RPG progression still aren't what I personally look for in the series. They're not inherently bad mechanics, but they never quite felt like the Assassin's Creed I grew up with. Then there was the dual-protagonist system. At first, I really didn't like it. I wanted to play Naoe, not constantly switch between two completely different playstyles. In fact, I disliked the idea so much that I actually uninstalled the game for a while. Thankfully, I decided that was a bit of a hasty decision. I reinstalled the game, gave it another chance, and eventually finished the entire story. Surprisingly, my opinion changed quite a bit. The game itself is gorgeous. Exploring Japan is consistently enjoyable, and Ubisoft deserves credit when credits due, they creating a pretty stunning world. The seasonal system is also a genuinely interesting mechanic. Watching the world transform throughout the year adds atmosphere and variety, although after dozens of hours it began to feel more repetitive than refreshing. Although the Winter season will always be my favorite, I just like snow in games. Naoe remained my preferred playstyle throughout the game. Her stealth-focused gameplay, mobility, and assassin toolkit are exactly what I had hoped for from an Assassin's Creed set in Japan. As for her character, I found her enjoyable enough, but her personal arc never stood out to me as particularly memorable. Ironically, the biggest surprise ended up being Yasuke. I went into the game expecting him to be the part I tolerated just to get back to Naoe. Instead, he gradually became one of the highlights of the experience. His gameplay is very different from traditional Assassin's Creed, but once I stopped expecting him to play like an Assassin and appreciated him for what he was, I found his combat genuinely fun. Using the naginata in particular led to some incredibly satisfying combos and made every encounter feel powerful. More importantly, I ended up finding Yasuke's character more fleshed out than Naoe's. Without getting into spoilers, his story grew on me far more than I expected, and by the end of the game I genuinely liked him as a protagonist. After spending so many hours with Assassin's Creed Shadows, I can comfortably say it's . . . alright. It's not the disaster some people make it out to be, but it also deserves some of the criticism it has received. The weak facial animations, weak voice acting, and RPG mechanics keep it from reaching its full potential. At the same time, it deserves praise for its beautiful world, enjoyable combat, and a dual-protagonist system that, despite my initial skepticism, ultimately won me over. Final Verdict: 7.5/10 Assassin's Creed Shadows isn't the definitive Assassin's Creed experience I was hoping for, but it's far from a bad game. It's a visually stunning action RPG with enjoyable combat and a surprisingly compelling second protagonist. While its storytelling and presentation don't always hit the mark, it's a game that proved me wrong in more ways than I expected, and one I'm ultimately glad I gave a second chance. Plus it has one of the best parkour in modern Assassin's Creed in my opinion. (Unity will always be my baby)

I like it.
