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.
“Assassin’s Creed Shadows creates one of the best versions of the open-world style.” —IGN
Step into feudal Japan like never before! From majestic castle towns to serene shrines and sweeping countryside, Assassin’s Creed Shadows offers a breathtaking open world where dynamic seasons, shifting weather, and environmental destruction affect your tactical approach.

Buen juego, me gusto mucho la verdad
无聊,不推荐
虽然网上评论褒贬不一 ,但是对我这种没有太多时间玩游戏的人来说,每天一个半小时上线,看看风景当当刺客还是非常爽的,这一作整体质量很高我很喜欢。有浓郁的日本特点,同时还能通过游戏了解到当时日本人民的生活方式,看到一些知名建筑,了解到相关的时代历史背景,我很喜欢这一代。
Пу-пу-пу Начиналось всё очень даже неплохо: красивейший визуал, хорошая боёвка, анимации Вскоре решил начать гриндить на платину, не обратил внимание, как начал уставать от этого, продолжал гриндить в надежде, что вот сейчас доделаю и втянусь обратно- не получилось, не делайте так Как итог- игру дропнул, может, когда-то ещё вернусь Тем не менее, того хейта к игре не разделяю

Ce jeu est honnêtement extrêmement décevant l'équilibrage est fais a la zob ce n'est pas dur juste frustrant. Lors de certaine mission infiltration on te fait spawn devant les ennemies. Des que l'on est a l'ombre on voit quedal. Lorsqu'on se balade sur la map le perso se bute sur a peu près tout ce qui existe.
还行
画质夯,精致罐头,玩到后面虽然估计还是一个味道但是两种风格交织整的还是不错的。唯一的一个小问题是暗的地方真的暗到绝望,经常抓瞎
Honestly, I'm a gigantic fan of the AC series. I fell off after Valhalla but this revisit has been awesome so far. The story is pretty good, top five for sure (I'm Ezio and Desmond Biased). I absolutely love the combat and the fact that you can switch assassins and be a wrecking ball like Yasuke or you also have the option for more stealth with Naoe.
