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.

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
its gorgeous
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。
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
I have 100% completed all AC games available on XBox up to AC origins (including) and none of them had such utterly annoying mechanic that totally destroyed the immersion. This is totally backward mechanic when YOU ARE GETTING WEAKER when leveling your character. It's called enemies autoleveling. You level up but your gear don't. And when your weapon is about 3-5 level lower then enemy - it does very little damage. You could say "just upgrade your gear and weapon" and you may be right - but you are basically leveling faster than collecting all required resources to do so, expecially when you have mostly played single character like Naoe and skipped Yasuke. (you get resources for character you play) And at some point of time realised you don't have enough resources to update the Yasuke's sword you wanted to play with. It may be possible to complete the game with single set of weapons or just use "common" weapons - because you can't update more of them. But what is the point of them existing then? The game has ability to change abilility points on the fly - it should give yoy flexibility of gameplay style at any moment - but it doesn't make sence since your Legendary Naginata stuck in 10 level when you are already 30 40 50... So instead of just playing the game, enjoying graphics, physics, atmospehe, music, gameplay - you are just wasting you time in unconvinient upgrade gear menu and inventory, making strategic decisions in which sword you should invest your single gold bar. P.S. Game performs terrible on Linux.
