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.

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.
Premier AC que je ne finis pas. C’est dire la déception .
Favourite AC game so far. I have over 100 hours and still have plenty of main and side quests to do. The game is beautiful and storyline is good
No puedo recomendar este juego, amo esta saga pero este titulo me decepciono profundamente. A nivel de gameplay me parece muy bien, su combate, sigilo y animaciones de los personajes me parecen excelente, pero su historia es terrible, al paso que van, temo seriamente por el futuro de los siguientes AC.
sad what such a great series has devolved to
В этой игре нет внятного сюжета. Нет внятных механик. Стелс вроде как и хорош, а вроде бы и скриптованное угэ, непонятно
Do yourself a favor, play Ghost of Tsushima instead of this. Ubisoft put some lock on settings that doesn't allow you customize graphics, and they SUCK HARD as the way it is. Just to get the "playable" seal from Steam. I tought they couldn't do worst than Valhalla... They prove me wrong. Seriously, AC Liberation from psvita is better than this. Doesn't worth $20 bucks on a sale. On top of the cake, MICROTRANSACTIONS on a single player game! (you read it right, I'm not joking) and the special Ubiteamcream full of bug's and glitches! Just to be complete: Game also crashes and close itself FROM NOWHERE here and there... A masterwork of deception and disapointment. I realy feel like Ubisoft steal my wallet selling me this!
반값 할인해서 구매했는데 cheapter 1 이후로 전혀 게임이 진행되지않고 뚝뚝 끊깁니다. 바탕화면 밖으로 자주 튕깁니다. 이런데도 환불 요청을 받아주질 않습니다. 최악입니다.
