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.

Played this game for some time but something is off. I like open world RPG, like RDR 2, Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West, etc. I always liked to explore first then go to main quest, and it never felt like a chore. The world is dead. Beautifull but dead. Repetitive until depresison. Side quests are World of Warcraft like: bring me 10 items, 16 recipes, kill 100 dudes and so on. I cant understand why the map feels larger than Valhalla or Odyssey. Graphics are astonishing, but its not enough and come on Ubisoft, why in every AC games someone needs to die to have a story of revenge? It was great in Ezio's trilogy and Origins, but u need to stop doing this every time. Very boring game! I preffer smaller maps but with a lot of things to do, instead of a big dead one. Even a shorter game i preffer, but with a good story. Ubisoft needs to learn from RDR 2, and that game is much older...
Top 1 Assassin's <3
very nice technique

Самые не интересные и бесполезные 85 часов моей жизни. Сюжет фигня, сайд квесты интересно делать первые часов 10. Все однообразно!!!
