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.

黑旗重制版这么对预购玩家,影也一样给差评,问就是活该
The visuals are great, and the Japanese aesthetic is very appealing. However, the game crashes frequently and seems to have issues with excessive storage usage on the C: drive. The movement also feels a little awkward. Personally, I found the movement and combat in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey smoother and more enjoyable.
非要做一个黑人做主角这般配吗?哦对了negro是法国的主人
游戏画面观感绝佳,画质表现力拉满。操控手感却十分拖沓发黏,游玩体验大打折扣。饱受争议的弥助本身有据可考,剧情层面塑造还算合理,可惜主线故事整体水准偏弱
剧情太烂
какашечка
Junk
Es un límite artificial ridículo, mi PC va sobrado pero el motor está roto. Bajas los gráficos a mínimo y sigue igual: capado. Es vergonzoso que en 2026 un AAA necesite mods de la comunidad (ACShadowsFix) para funcionar mínimamente bien. Ubisoft vende humo y optimización de mierda. Si no te apetece arreglar el juego tú mismo, ni lo toques. Un chasco
I'm not gonna lie - folks loooooveee to hate on Ubisoft and for a long time I was on that hate train, but this sh*t is CRACK
Finished it because I paid for it
