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.
And, to get full immersion, experience the game through Japanese voiceover.

по крайней мере, это лучше, чем вальгалла...
전국시대라는 개꿀잼 스토리를 가지고도 쓰레기 같은 조작감에 병신같은 ai 쓸때없이 파밍에 시간을 쓰게 만드는 똥꾸렁내나는 이런 게임은 어쌔신크리드라는 이름이 달려선 안된다 유비는 자기네 회사가 똥통에 빠지는걸 모르는 건지 이딴게임을 돈받고 판다는건 소비자 기만에 가깝다
Az összes AC játékot végigjátszottam kíváló játék ez is, remek grafika és játékmenet

it's not great.
Great feature with season changing! This impact on a gameplay criticaly. Well done!
Como todo jogo da franquia assassin's creed, muita missão "CTRL + C E CTRL + V" mas vale super a pena.
el juego en si graficamente es una cosa magnifica, pero en ciertas situaciones el gameplay se siente algo torpe a pesar de todo
