Ubisoft's long-awaited Japan-set Assassin's Creed game does excellent justice to its setting, offering an immersive way to fight through one of the franchise's most beautifully presented locations.
Assassin's Creed Shadows, despite prior delays and concerns, is a successful and immersive open-world RPG set in feudal Japan. It refines the franchise's formula by streamlining exploration and progression, featuring a scout system, a detailed world impacted by seasonal changes, and distinct playstyles for dual protagonists Naoe and Yasuke. The game offers freedom of choice and delivers cinematic samurai-esque moments.
