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.

TLDR, first AC I enjoy playing since Odyssey even tho it's not very good AC Games but enjoyable. While Valhalla really frustrates me with it's puzzle, and Mirage too short (main title feels like spinoff) - Graphics are good, many people complaints about the cutscene, I think bcs they use game engine as cutscene, that's why it looks clunky especially with face expression. - Core mechanics, lights, sound, assassination, I like the mechanics. Parkour feels basic, but the game called "Assassin's Creed", not "Parkour Creed". - Maps, very beautiful, it's rare when a game make me want to travel instead of using fast travel. Take note it's kinda heavy, I only got like 70-80 very high settings on 1080p native, 120-140 fps with FSR and frame-gen on. Where I can get 165 FPS ultra native 1080p on Mirage, it's literally 1 game before. - Content, too many target, not enough strong world boss. Once your character reach max level, literally nothing will hold you back. Not enough mytichal weapons and armor to hunt. - Story, trash, absolute total trash. They trade complete story for side missions. It's more about "Oda Nobunaga", the "Templar vs Assassin" story was so little. If ubisoft get rid of unimportant side quest and extend Yasuke's journey hunting Templar, and then extend Naoe's journey searching for her mother, then make their story met again, then it's a good story. It has potential, shame ubisoft are dumb. - Naoe kinda cute tho, compared to other female protagonist, Naoe has better looking along side Evie. Other such as Eivor and Kassandra has SBI vibes to them. Aya also looks beautiful, but I dunno if I can consider her as main protagonist or playable side character
Let me start by saying this, I am NOT a big Ubisoft or AC guy but as a open world game this game friggin rocks! I'm Currently at 23 hours on posting this review and I was FLOORED when it told me i had just finished Act 1. Both characters rock and i definitely plan on playing both, the gameworld is frigging gorgeous (albeit a little hefty for my XTX to run with the settings i like), the characters are both great with outstanding character development, and most importantly there's real, believable stuff to do around every corner. The only two bad things i have to say at the time of posting this review: 1. This game is a BEAR to run on my AMD card but this is semi absolved by the fact that it is downright gorgeous. 2. Nothing quite says feudal Japan like hip hop beats as soon as you get to start playing as the larger character... Kinda seems like a choice, Ubisoft.
以前在PS5pro上玩的,囿于那个破机能只能在40帧下玩,画质也有缩水,现在有了好点的显卡玩起来真的是赏心悦目。 关于育碧的一切争议我都不关心,我愿意给出好评,我玩得开心,这就足够了。
Que jogo tosco é esse? a primeira uma hora o jogo entrega fráficos feios, animações truncadas, gameplay dura....eu vim jogar esse jogo logo depois de ter teminado Ghost of Yotei, e meu Deus, tem um vale entre um jogo e outro, claro não espero o mesmo jogo, mas caramba, parece que os jogos da Ubisoft estão cada vez piores, a cena em que o Pai da Naoe morre, que é logo no começo, eu simplesmente comecei a rir, porque a dublagem e as animações são tão toscas que não me passavam nem um tipo de emoção, só de "que diacho estou vendo?!"
ninja stealth good game ples buy

In my personal opinion this is ubisofts best rpg title
配料丰富的,食之无味的,风景如画的,剧情无趣的,黑人战神的:罐头
