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.

Mastery points arent added to the mastery menu. From online forums i see this problem persists for over a year. Lovely to know how little Ubisoft thinks of their paying customers. Voice acting and facial expression is as one would expect from an IKEA table-dull,wooden,cheap-almost as bad as it was in AC Mirage. i truly cannot belive such a half finished product has a single positive review.
good game i like

Не знаю за что хейтят эту игру, но мне она очень понравилась, графика на высшем уровне, мир и детализация завораживают, я в восторге. По сюжету пока нравится, еще не прошёл игру, что бы полностью скзаать. Боевая система в игре очень добротная, стелс сделан качественно, и прям хочешь не спалиться на очередном захвате замка. Игра великолепна.
Beautiful world, fun stealth and combat but pretty repetitive and the story isn't super interesting. I really liked the world a lot, Japan is beautiful and it cycled between all 4 seasons and the entire map changes, very screenshot worthy game! Took a ton during the cherry blossoms in spring and all the pretty trees in autumn! I mostly played as Naoe, Yasuke is quite slow and clunky, Naoe is quite weak in combat but her stealth is fun and there even is a button to enable one tap assassination on every enemy, only discovered it late but it's more fun like that, to be able to one shot all elites and not fight enemy sponges with huge health bars. I explored the entire map and got all waypoints and you even got a hideout to upgrade and customize and people to recruit, the loop was a bit repetitive with the target hunt and the side activities and quest weren't super memorable either, quite a lot of content bloat. She has 4 weapons and he has 3 and you can upgrade your gear and use perks that give bonuses. Overall it's a very pretty but quite repetitive game with some really good moments here and there but a lot of tediousness too.
[b] 总体来说还是不错的,打折入手也不亏,画面风格也转换了一下,UI界面也换新了,加入了四季,世界方面也在更新,整体核心不变,剧情角色换了下,技能限制怎么说呢,有好有坏。不过我是可以接受游戏的多元化的 [/b]
动作设计很出色,潜行玩法丰富,画面尚可,除了这些就没什么优点了,尤其是体验过黑旗重制版以后,罐头归罐头,主线给我好好做啊
As an Assassin's Creed fan, I found myself enjoying this game endlessly. The combination of old and new mechanic of stealth is satisfying to say the least. Stealth in any of Assassin's Creed games is definitely my favorite type of approach. However, there's still some issues regarding the lackluster plot, and the dual character option, where I feel like Naoe is more suitable in most of the mission. Plus, some of the terrain and castle design are more or less the same with each other, so it feels like the game design is lacking varieties. That being said, I still spend more than 100 hours immersed in the game, and it's a proof that if you're having fun playing, it doesn't really matter all of the lacking things.
怀疑信长成为信长!但是不能破坏神社真是最大败笔
