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.

Я дуже люблю Ассассінс Крід. Мабуть, в моєму топі - це найулюбленіша серія ігор. Але попри класний сюжет, музику, графіку і неймовірне оточення, я не можу рекомендувати цю гру. 1) Дуже незрозумілий геймдизайн, де тобі дають місію в одному місці, а виконувати її потрібно на іншому кінці мапи. У висновку, більшу частину часу ти просто бігаєш і збираєш квести. Таким чином, прогрес майже не рухається. Але при цьому, є купа знаків питання, які також можна відвідувати. І вони реально відволікають від місій. Мені не подобається так грати. Я хочу відчувати свій прогрес. За 80 годин гри я майже не пройшла сюжет. І граю я лише тому, що хочу закрити гру на 100%. Чисто заради галочки. Задоволення від неї я геть не отримую. 2) Гра майже не працює на Linux. Я заходжу в гру, граю від 1 до 30 хвилин і гра (саме відео) зависає в рандомних місцях. Я не хочу грати на Windows. Мені не подобається Windows. Дайте мені можливість грати без зависань, будь ласка. Для порівняння, свіжий Блек Флег Ресінкед працює відмінно. І окрема дяка Ubisoft за неможливість тестувати різні конфігурації Wine через довбане Denuvo: "Unable to start the game. This product cannot be activated right now, please try again later." Та незграбна мить, коли DRM банить за те шо ти намагаєся хоч якось змусити гру працювати. 3) Управління на геймпаді від гри до гри міняється, хоча всі скіли лишаються тими самими. Мені не подобається переучуватися заново кожну гру. Я буду вдячна розробникам, якщо вони все ж якось уніфікують цей момент для всіх ігор серії (не беру до уваги перші 2 гри, де була система ляльки, лише наступні, починаючи із АС ІІІ).
建筑物吸附确实是草育碧他血妈了,被尼玛生出来的敌人用飞镖把逼都射穿了都动不了,我直接抓钩甩你妈宫颈壁上死死吸附让你妈逼动弹不得,操你老木的
Junk
worst game OF ALL TIME!!! why for every mission its me having to run around trying to find out where the person is or what im trying to find in a dumb blue circle ITS HORRIBLE wasted 70 sum dollars ON THIS GAME AND IVE ONLY PLAYED FOR 7 HOURS JUST DO BETTER its annoying frustrating it makes me never want to play another one of these games unless its the older ones if you see this DO BETTER OR HIRE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
The scenery is gorgeous, but I never felt invested in the world or the story. Playing this game made me realize how different a beautiful open-world game can feel from one that has been carefully directed and put together. A great game knows how to grab you almost immediately. The visual direction, the pacing, the characters, and the way the story unfolds all work together to pull you in. It is like reading a really good web novel. Within the first few chapters, you are already invested and want to know what happens next. Assassin’s Creed Shadows never gave me that feeling. It looks impressive, but underneath all the beautiful scenery, it often feels like a game engine filled with objectives, map markers, and things to check off a list. I was moving through the content, but I was rarely emotionally involved in any of it. I will buy the Black Flag remake. I love Edward as a character, and his story is still one of my favorites in the series. Black Flag gave me a reason to care about the man I was playing and the journey he was on. Shadows, unfortunately, never managed to do the same.
好游戏说真的,尤其是奈绪江真的及其符合刺客的理念和玩法,弥助抛开黑的问题,也非常照顾了对刺杀不感兴趣的玩家。环境更是没的说,尽管英灵殿对环境的细节处理更强,但是无论是审美还是动作,或者环境处理都远远比英灵殿强太多太多。目前还没有玩到海战,不清楚对比奥德赛的海战情况,当然要玩海战可以明天去黑旗试试。英灵殿也玩了120小时了,最大的问题当然还是审美上,然后就是英灵殿很大程度抛弃了刺客的意义和传统,让本就?号多的后期更是昏昏欲睡。本作就不一样了,奈绪江真的及其符合刺客精髓,感觉是自目前黑旗没有重置发售前所有版本里面最合格的作品。远远不是英灵殿,起源可以舆论带入碰瓷的。 值得一提,这年头在日厂游戏漫天要价,正常开放世界价格及其离谱或者类魂战斗,缺少一点生活气息的乐趣下,刺客信条的高级版仅仅只要224,甚至只是某些坑逼日厂游戏或者P社游戏一个DLC的价格。讲真的这游戏极其值得购买,只要你不晕3D,对动作模糊没问题。
指引就是一坨狗屎
흑인 사무라이도 이해하겠고 게임성도 솔직히 늘먹던맛이라 이해하겠는데 짜증나는건 안그래도 유비식오픈월드라 게임 하나당 대략 40 50시간 걸리는거 이번엔 심부름 뻉뺑이만 돌다가 100시간까지 즐기셨으면 했는지 물건을 찾는것도 인물찾는것도 뻉뺑이 도는것도 정성스럽게 직접 찾으라고 그냥 단서만 주고 중요한것들은 직접 찾으라고 만들어서 미션 하나하나 뒤지게 오래 걸리게 만듦 안그래도 맵 점점 커져서 이동시간 비중도 커지는데 도저히 못해먹겠네 유비 너넨 앞으로 게임만들지 말고 어디 박물관이나 공공기관 이런곳 3D 가상체험 이런걸로 맵이나 만들어서 돌아다니는 프로그램이나 만들어라
I was pleasantly surprised by how good the game was, since I went in with zero expectations, fully expecting to get a refund, since it's Ubisoft. It feels like they have finally perfected the formula they introduced with Odyssey and achieved a good balance between the old and the new AC games. The characters are fleshed out and the voice acting is good, the plot is intriguing and the gameplay is really good. Overall, a solid 9/10.
Once again I played another mixed reviewed AC and altough I quite enjoyed spending a lot of time into the word here developed (as I always most do) it's very clear how much this game needed to be rethinked in a lot of ways, won't dive further but would only recommend if you want to spend so mindless time having fun exploring a new game world, otherwise it's pretty frustrating.
