  Finished the game but I honestly can't give it a thumbs up, it's possibly the most frustrating AC game I've played and I've played them all. Your greatest enemy in this game is the camera and controls who constantly double-team you into submission.. and you cannot defeat them. The amount of times I got stuck on world geometry is also unacceptable. And the complete lack of the real world story.. ugh.. I know it's divisive but that was always one of my favourite things in these games; the mystery and intrigue of the ancient Isu and the Pieces of Eden seems to be completely forgotten and ignored. Felt like I was finishing it more from stubbornness than actual enjoyment. That and to this date it STILL suffers from random DirectX crashes. Unacceptable.

  What an incredibly frustrating experience this is. I was actually a fan of the new open world rpg-ish direction Ubisoft took with Assassins's Creed, and remain a resolute fan of Odyssey and even Valhalla to a degree. But my god whatever the f*ck they did with Shadows, it does NOT work. 4/10 - The game world, while pretty, is as empty and boring as it gets. There is almost nothing to do aside from conquering enemy camps. Imagine Valhalla's map, but everything except for the enemy bases, the viewpoints and those stone stacking puzzles is removed. That's what Shadows' world feels like. - The characters are about as wooden and unlikable as can be, both in writing as well as in performance. Some truly horrible AI af facial animations and stilted performances are the norm here. And the protagonists are not exempt from this. Many criticized Eivor of being wooden compared to Alexios and especially Kassandra, but even Eivor is miles ahead in terms of personality and emotional range compared to either Naoe or Yasuke. - The story is confusing, disjointed and frankly exhausting. Ubisoft decided it was a good idea to ditch a coherent main plot in favor of little mini-stories in the style of Odyssey's cult of kosmos, or Valhalla's order of the ancients. This means the game has no leading narrative, events happen out of order and are each highly localized without tying into a wider story. It is dull, illogical and tedious. - The combat has evolved somewhat and is now less hack and slash and more tactical, yet I find myself more frustrated than engaged by it. Stronger enemies can take forever to fight as Naoe, and often kill you in seconds if you dare to lose concentration over the minute-long hacking sessions. So it seems like the combat was clearly designed to be tackled with Yasuke, that's his thing being a samurai after all. Stealth and exploration on the other hand practically mandate the use of Naoe, since Yasuke is hilariously inept at doing anything an Assassin's Creed protagonist would do on a regular basis, aside from fighting head-on. Okay, all well and good, so the idea is: you go in stealthily with Naoe and if discovered, you switch to Yasuke for the fight, right? WRONG. For some god forsaken reason Ubisoft decided that switching characters would entail a loadscreen and could only be done out of combat. So no matter what you're doing, you're never given the right tools for the job, and it makes the entire character switching thing look like some tacked-on gimmick that never works in your favor. What a mess. - The loot and equipment is just straight up worse now. They took the worst aspects from both Odyssey and Valhalla and combined them into whatever this system is supposed to be. Odyssey had an almost arpg-esque loot system, with multiple rarities, frequent upgrades and deep build crafting; but that lead to loot-spam and constant fiddling with items that barely changed anything. Valhalla then employed a morer souls-like approach with fixed unique weapons that can be upgraded and customized; but that also restricted variety and made exploring for loot less rewarding. Shadows now decided to combine the random loot spam of odyssey with even more restrictive build crafting than Valhalla, and reduced the amount of gear slots by 75% on top of that. It's the most unengaging loot system I have seen in a bit. - While the game certainly looks pretty, this comes at an unacceptable cost of performance. Shadows barely runs around 50 fps on my supercomputer, while often looking similiar to Valhalla or even worse thanks to aggressive upscaling. It's both hilarious and sad to me that this game can look exactly the same as Valhalla in parts, while literally running at a quarter of the fps. I can play Valhalla on 120 locked, NATIVE, and that game is humongous; yet I have to use framegen in Shadows to even approach 90 on a good day; what the f*ck happened? - Final thoughts: this game is a mess. It's dual protagonist approach backfired epically and works neither in gameplay nor in narrative. The open world, while smaller than Valhalla, feels somehow larger, and not in a good way. The combat and equipment systems are either worse than previous entries where they overlap, or just plain bad where they are new, and the story is by far the least interesting and least engaging one they have done for this franchise yet. Going back into the game now I can barely manage an hour before shutting it down again out of boredom or frustration. The initial bulk of playtime I was mostly wowed by the graphics and world design, but that wanderlust has since worn off, and what's left is a hollow shell of a game with no direction, no emotion and no story to tell.

  Вышла очередная часть конвейерной серии Assassin’s Creed, и как все последние игры Ubisoft была утоплена в негативе ещё до релиза. Лично я не понимаю большинство претензий и придирок и считаю их полным бредом и абсурдом. Как и у всех частей серии получился прекрасный и живописный открытый мир, с впечатляюще красивыми пейзажами, в этот раз времён феодальной Японии! (Вот фото-режим на старте подкачал, ибо он почему то в соотношении 16:9) В плане оптимизации вообще не подвели, играется отлично, без всяких масштабирований и генераций кадров. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3448164617 Геймплейно всё прекрасно. Играть за Ясукэ поначалу было немного непревычно, но к стилю быстро привыкаешь, и вообще плевать какой там у него цвет кожи. У Наоэ всё типично для серии, и всё же более увлекательно и интереснее, ну и она очень привлекательна внешне. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3449320586 По сюжету ничего сказать пока что не могу, но какие то там исторические неточности меня не волнуют, я наслаждаюсь историей какая она есть, это ведь в конце концов игра. Интересно устроено убежище, возможность строительства и персонализации, как минимум было необычным решением такое реализовать. Понравились некоторые музыкальные темы, и в целом звуковое сопровождение. В целом Shadows с лихвой оправдали мои ожидания. На данном этапе вижу одну из лучших игр серии, возвращающейся к истокам. Крепкие 9 баллов и однозначно к ознакомлению!

  I was enjoying Assassin’s Creed Shadows at first, even though it has a lot of performance problems. I’m running an RTX 5090 and still struggle to reach 60 frames per second. It’s ridiculous — I can play Red Dead Redemption 2 at 4K with 120 FPS, but this game barely manages 30–50 FPS at the same resolution. Like most Ubisoft titles, it’s a massive map filled with repetitive tasks and endless collectibles that have little to no impact on the actual gameplay. For the first 10 hours, I was enjoying it, but after that, it feels like I’m doing exactly the same thing over and over again. I’m just pushing through to complete it, but without any real enjoyment. This has become a recurring pattern in Assassin’s Creed games — each entry gets bigger, but not better. For reference, I platinumed Assassin’s Creed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla on my PlayStation account, so I’ve given this series plenty of time and patience. But I don’t see myself continuing to play Shadows, because it simply isn’t fun anymore. Then, after losing internet access for about 4-5 days, I discovered that I couldn’t even launch the game. The Ubisoft Connect launcher refuses to open it without connecting to Ubisoft’s servers — even for the single-player campaign. This means I cannot access a product I paid for, which from a consumer standpoint is ridiculous. It’s a shame that these companies bury the experience under DRM and force online checks for single-player content that should be playable offline and doesn’t affect anyone else. This will be the last Ubisoft game I will ever buy.

  Another disappointing entry in the franchise. I cannot say this is a bad game, the gameplay is fine, but the overall game is so shallow and boring that I cannot in good conscience recommend it. Just like Valhalla and Odyssey, this one is just too long. I can see every decision made to maximise playtime and expose you to the microtransaction store as much as possible. I see no other explanation. I just cannot look past the monotony and shallowness of Act 2 and 95% of the side content, all of which are just "kill lists" or collectables. If you must, buy it on a sale only. TLDR Likes: * Good graphics, beautiful environments for the most part. Climbing towers to see the vistas is reward enough. * Weather system and the seasons system, one of the best windy games. Leaves flying in the fall wind is just sublime. * Bigger focus on stealth compared to Valhalla and Odyssey. * Return to Odyssey's randomly dropped loot system * No otherworldly god realm parallel dimensions like in Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla * No quadcopter bird like all games since Origins have. * Ability to go prone is neat. * Decent weapon variety. * Auto follow feature, it only took 15 years TLDR Dislikes: * The "kill list" structure for 90% of the quest content is boring. None of these characters are memorable. * Side quests are almost all shallow "Kill X named characters" or "collect X items" type "quests". There are like 2 or 3 real side quests. * Parkour still works sub-par, gets you stuck on certain things (railings), refusing to jump down from a 20cm ledge, very annoying and these bugs will get you detected in stealth. * Hip hop type hollow sounding music that doesn't fit the time period (AFAIK) and is just not what I have come to expect from these games. Music in general is a disappointment. * Pretty much no modern day story, no Isu outside of 1 small easter egg. * Microtransactions and other Live Service crap * Weird Battle Pass system nobody asked for (granted its free and persistent, but still with timegated progression), serving only the conveniently placed store button. * Having to switch characters to do a world marker, quest, or to climb a wall/explore sucks. * Every enemy camp, castle, city and temple look the same. Game Structure This is in my opinion the worst part about this game, same as Mirage. This started in Odyssey, but was mostly a side thing there and in Valhalla. But in Mirage and here, the entire game is just circles of people to kill. Nineteen circles of named characters to be exact, and none of them are memorable. The thing is that narratively nothing can change in between the "kill them in any order" part of the game. And due to the amount of these kills you need to do between prologue and Act 3, you forget why you are even doing this, because it's been 40+ hours since last plot development. These kill lists also cause another problem - choice paralysis, due to the sheer amount of active "quests" at any one time. Gameplay, Progression, Leveling The gameplay is fine. Besides numerous parkour bugs, it works well. But by 4th RPG entry in the series, I do actively dislike the loot and leveling systems, as I have come to realise just how shallow and pointless grind it has become. The maximum level in the game is 100 (upped from 60 by some update). After 100 hours in the game, completing every single kill list, grinding out every base upgrade, I still have not even reached 80. Beating the story I was at around 50. This means, that my loot, throughout the entire game, was always becoming obsolete every 3 levels, and I am expected to either use trashy armor you randomly get without desirable perks for the entire playthrough, or grind infinitely respawning contracts for materials to keep my gear upgraded on 2 characters. All this just so the arbitrary level values do not fall behind too much, which artificially reduces your health and damage dealt. This is just busy work disguised as loot, as opposed to getting and stacking related perks to specialize and augment your character in proper games. Also finding pets, trees and buildings for your homebase in enemy camp chests is kinda silly. Basebuilding itself is also kinda meh. It's there just for you to grind the infinitely respawning contracts to raid small enemy camps to get perks. Seems to me like its actually there just to sell you building skins and ornaments in the MTX shop. And speaking of live service crap, there was a holiday event chest that gave me lots of resources daily, which really destroys integrity of early game. Not that there's any integrity to it to begin with, when the game is designed with MTX shop and grind in mind. I also started to dislike the "unguided mode" now, because it's adds nothing to the game in my opinion. Instead of a map marker, you are just given the name of the place you need to go. How much different is that really from a map marker? The only difference is that you have to place the map marker yourself. Yasuke & Naoe Unlike Valhalla and Odyssey, these 2 characters are not just reskins of each other. One is a fighter type, the other a stealth type. Sounds interesting on paper. In practice I'd say its a failure. The problem is that certain things can be done by only one of the characters. Naoe cannot pick up explosive jugs, or move sliding boxes. Yasuke can and is stronger in open combat, but he cannot climb pretty much at all. So this means that you are basically locked to Naoe for exploration (and for the assassin fantasy), but when you need Yasuke to complete a "puzzle" or moving a box or a jug, after clearing a camp as Naoe, and the entire camp respawns, the stupidity of this system comes into focus. Graphics Graphics are good, but there's some weird uncanny valley feeling to the environment, as if the lighting is kinda flat. I can't exactly say why I feel like this, maybe the shadows are not dark enough or something? There's also weird auto exposure issue where looking in certain directions sometimes significantly and noticeably reduces scene brightness, very annoying, especially in the photo mode. But I must say I did like the seasons system and the weather. This is one of the windiest games I have ever played, and this is, if not the best, at least one of the best wind implementations out there. Running around during fall, in windy weather with all the leaves floating about in the wind, it just looks really good. Nitpicks * Gone are navigational puzzles when climbing towers. It's just press Q simulator for the grappling hook. * Weird omission of "loot on assassinate" perk * Cannot assassinate unaware enemies while in combat for no reason * No weather/season setting in photo mode * An achievement that requires completion of the main story again in NG+ * The armor perk that throws kunai on assassination cannot be controlled, and will get you unwantedly get detected * Sometimes sprint button just stops working * Can't start rappelling down from on top of ledges using the grapple, its only a climbing tool. Conclusion This game is kinda the AC Syndicate of the RPG games. I just want an adventure game like in ye olden times, not a list of busy work to do. Doing dailies (battle pass, grinding base building mats and money) is the last thing I want in a supposedly story based game. This franchise in a desperate need of another major revamp, similar to the one from Syndicate to Origins, specifically in the story structure. It is my opinion that it is impossible to build a good story where after first few hours of story and character development/introductions, it all grinds to a massive halt and you are let loose to kill 50+ fking forgettable boss enemies that you honestly could not care less about.

  I really like the setting (Samurai Japan) and to be honest the story isn't half bad either. The visuals are gorgeous but unfortunately it is not optimised. I have a beefy PC (7900xtx) and I try to play most games without FSR, I don't mind reducing the graphical fidelity (medium/high settings) to avoid FSR, also don't care too much about raytracing, I play on HDR and this is enough for me. Other games managed to turn things around and optimise (Stalker 2) even when all hope was lost - if this happens with this game as well in future patches then I will change my review to positive.

  Сюжет? Штамповка уровня “смешали всё подряд, но забыли зачем”. Персонажи, вроде бы с бэкграундом, но разговаривают как NPC в мобилках: скучно, топорно, ни капли живости. Особенно бесит, как они пытаются всучить тебе драму про “две стороны конфликта” — но ты не можешь сопереживать, когда всё выглядит, как школьный театр на уроке истории. Дальше — геймплей. Тут два “героя” — один скрытный нинзя, второй — мясной самурай. Звучит круто? Ну да, на бумаге. На деле: механики настолько кривые, что ты половину времени просто борешься с управлением. Нинзя почему-то не умеет нормально прыгать на врагов сверху — тупо мимо. Самурай всё время застревает в анимациях. Стелс — это вообще какая-то шутка. Ты сидишь в кустах, кидаешь петарду — враг поворачивается, врезается в стену и умирает от инфаркта. Я серьёзно, ИИ тут просто отбитый. Боевая система вроде есть, но скучнее и медленнее я ничего не видел. Три приёма на двоих, враги — клоны с одинаковыми криками боли. Я не знаю, может они специально делают хуже, чтобы мы потом вспоминали AC2 как гениальную игру? Окей, думаешь, хотя бы визуал вытащит? Ну, типа, Япония — храмы, поля, сакура, всё такое. Но даже здесь облом. Картинка красивая только на скринах. В движении — мыльцо, текстуры грузятся с запозданием, освещение как будто забыли включить. И да — баги. В каждой сессии обязательно что-то поломается: враг застрянет в стене, квест не активируется, кат-сцена не прогружается. Это уже традиция у Ubisoft, наверное. И вот ты сидишь, час игры позади, и ловишь себя на мысли — а где фан? Где хоть что-то, ради чего стоило ждать? Всё ощущается пустым, ленивым и вторичным. Ни атмосферы, ни смысла, ни удовольствия.

  I've completed 100% of the game. I've done everything I could do in base game and DLC, I did ALL the achievements, so now it's time for my honest opinion on the whole thing. PROS: +4 Yasuke's story arc. He's brilliantly written, a very likeable character, and even though he's a historical figure and his story is fictional, the whole thing is told realistically, giving plenty of reasons why he's in Japan, what drives him, why we don't hear about his achievements in history, etc. +3 The scouts mechanic is great, I hope it will be expanded in future games. +3 I played it a year after its release, but the optimization is still worth praising (the best of the last two games). +3 At last we got the most expanded hideout editor to date. Additionally, cosmetic items for the hideout can drop from looted chests in camps, castles and such, which increases the desire to raid them. +2 Dividing the story into target circles, giving the game a lot of choice, a sandbox feel, and multi-directional quests. Even though you're essentially doing the same thing over and over again, there are sometimes surprising departures from the norm. +2 The changing seasons really freshen up the repetitive gameplay. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a significant impact on most things. +2 Combat is a significant improvement over Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins. +2 Koshiro's love quest. +1 First few meditation mini-games unlock side quests that take place before the prologue. +1 Butterfly mystery quest. Very surprising. +1 Death of Takahashi Clan (in Kyoto) quest. All target circles should work so sandbox-ish like this quest. +1 Junjiro's plot twist. +1 You can unlock Disney Mulan's horse. CONS: -6 Forcing the ideology. There were no non-binary people in feudal Japan. Period. And even Yasuke not being samurai in real life does not justifie calling him samurai after Nobunaga's death . -5 the ikki founded by Naoe is not the Brotherhood of Assassins. It has warped ideals, and she learns about the Assassin ideology from a single side mission. -5 Ubisoft Connect as a launcher. I had so many disconnections between Steam and UC. Sometimes I needed to run game thru UC instead of Steam bc unknown error was occuring while launching thru Steam. Not to mention that UC can lost internet connection with no reason at all. -4 there's no real ideological conflict. The Templars are reduced to warmongers, to one guy who forged the Order into his ideals. There are no Assassins; 99% of them die off-screen before game even started, 2-3 are killed off in the story. The Masked Ones are driven by the fear of their leader, who fears the Templars and ultimately thrashes like a terrified child . -4 The parkour paths are a joke. Many objects behave as they please, often to the player's detriment, but the worst aspect is that, aside from the designated paths, of which there are few on the map, you can barely use parkour outside of castles. -4 exploration is confined to tight corridors. Unlike the previous 3 games in the series, you can't traverse the mountains freely, and general movement through the world is reduced to 90% horse and 10% boat, which gets boring quickly. -3 The lion's share of the plot takes place AFTER two-thirds of the way through the game. Literally, in Act 1, which is the longest, you learn practically nothing, which is why I'm not surprised that no reviewer was motivated to reach Act 2. I'll quickly answer: in Act 2, you gain a strong motivation for Yasuke in the plot, and in Act 3, after hearing words of the Masked Ones' boss and the Templars' boss, your eyes open, and suddenly the convoluted story suddenly makes sense . -3 Soooooo many grinding for resources. RPG systems - the weapon levels, the stats, etc. really delude and drag down entire experience and story. Althought some weapon/armor skills are game-changing gimmicks, especially when you experiment enough with them. -3 Scaling your opponents' levels to yours undermines any sense of leveling and feel of progress, as you become weaker. And believe me, you won't catch up with the gear to make it worthwhile 'til last couple of hourse before game ending. -3 I still regret the lack of blending in with the crowd, sitting on benches, etc. bc stealth quickly becomes monotonous due to the lack of variations. -2 Naoe's story arc. Her character has no meaningful development throughout the story (basically Marry Sue after the prologue), many of her storylines are so drawn out during the gametime that you forget about them, and ultimately, the ending of her story leaves much to be desired regardless of which ending you choose. -2 The characters' movement and mobility are terribly sluggish; they don't maintain momentum when running or jumping. Everything about the characters' movements feels artificial, which contrasts with the fluid action animations. -1 The game still has a ton of bugs. Just to name a few: random no animations for moving NPCs, shopkeepers getting unavalieble after starting the tea cup collecting quest, or map not loading in the menu. -1 I'm glad they added the ability to enable instakill with the hidden blade in the patch, but it feels like the game was designed with the frustrating inability to use the hidden blade as it should be used. The closest they came to correctly challenging the hidden blade use was in AC Valhalla, where a tougher opponent required a QTE to intakill with HB, but here they significantly worsened everything in that regard. -1 Apparently Oni exist in AC universe . -1 Even though mechanically it makes sense to distribute many key skills between weapons to increase usability, after some time, especially after +50h when you have learned them all, you start to feel the lack of many skills that are useful in stealth. -1 still parrying is clunky, combat animations overlap so you take damage bc of glitches, not your skills. -1 all Yasuke's archer challenges are true nightmare. -1 Employee(s) who came up with achievements: "Enjoy the Ride", "Stars Unseen", "Worth Its Wait", should be dismissed from gamedev for eternity. Debunking the myths section (bc too many lies have been told about this game): a) Yasuke doesn't sleep with Lady Oichi. It is platonic unconsummated love . b) Yasuke has another female romance option than above. c) You can choose who you recruit to the ikki. I didn't recruit Yaya and Ibuki, even so I finished their side quests. d) You can't play the game as just Naoe or just Yasuke. There are many quests where you alternate between them, and at the beginning of the game, Yasuke isn't even around for a while. In the end I had fun, a lot, especially the more hours I got in the game. But I will give thumb down for all the reasons I mentioned in CONS section. Ubisoft, you are a big corpo, you are a big boy/girl, you can afford to make changes that this series struggles with since Origins. I wish you best, and you, dear reader, if you have a dime to spend, I recommend you this game if you are immune to grind and like roaming historical places and hunt down bad people like wild animals.

  Очень жаль потраченного времени на эту так называемую шедевро игру. Assassin's Creed Shadows встречает игроков шикарным прологом,в котором идеально практически все, что и подкупает многих игроков. Пролог действительно выглядит захватывающе и обещает множество интересных событий. Однако спустя пять часов игры ты начинаешь понимать, что тебя просто обманули. Вместо того, чтобы наслаждаться процессом, ты снова сталкиваешься с типичной игрой от которой ужасно воняет Ubisoft, и сразу становится ясно, что снова за этим стоит шаблонный подход и однообразие. После великолепного пролога игра заставляет нас противостоять Синбакуфу, что оборачивается невероятно унылым и бесполезным гриндом. Противостояние с 12 скучными боссами растягивается на целых 30 часов, что превращает игровой процесс в настоящее мучение. В конце концов, после этих часов бессмысленного гринда, игрок получает две концовки по 10 минут на персонажа. После прохождения игры столкнулся лишь с ощущением незавершенности и разочарования. Открытый мир в игре огромен, но при этом пуст и неинтересен. Даже несмотря на то, что местами он действительно выглядит красиво, общая атмосфера мира оставляет желать лучшего. Всё это создает впечатление, что разработчики потратили слишком много времени на внешность, забыв о содержании. Из положительных аспектов можно выделить только красивые локации, хорошую оптимизацию и качественно поставленные каст-сцены. Но эти элементы не могут скрыть общее разочарование от игры. В конечном итоге, Assassin's Creed Shadows оставляет лишь разочарование, так как обещания, данные в прологе, так и не были выполнены в основной части игры.

  Обзор от недовостоковеда-епониста (да, закончил бакалавриат на яп. кафедре и на руках N2　日本語能力試験). Играю с японскими субтитрами и японским звуком. Сколько всего разного наслушался до выхода игры, но вот 8 часов побегал, посмотрел своими глазами, и, подумал, что можно что-то да написать. А учитывая, что я не фанат ассасина, смотрел я на игру скептически, до этого ни в одного ассасина не смог наиграть больше часов десяти (даже первый на релизе дропнул). Это фанфик В первую очередь изначально было ясно, что эта игра, как и любой другой ассасин – псевдоисторический фанфик, и если хватает ума это понять, то и половина проблем очевидных отпадёт сама собой. Пока по сюжету всё идёт довольно складно, Ясукэ с Нобунагой показали в начале, а затем вывалили кучу всего по истории Наоэ, и пока за Ясукэ не дают поиграть даже. С историй Наоэ всё пока хорошо, мне напоминает этакий вестерн периода сэнгоку, есть такие очевидные отсылки на какие-то фильмы с Клинтом Иствудом или даже на Тарантино. Этакая смесь происходит жанровая. К слову, это не новшество, такое было и в аниме, и даже в кинематографах такие вот сюжеты присутствовали, вспомним того же "Телохранителя" 用心棒 Куросавы, который сюжетно и по стилистике настолько подходил для вестерна, что даже Серджо Леоне на его основе снял свой фильм "За пригоршню долларов". Немного про культурные особенности По поводу культурных особенностей и прочего. Слышал, что кто-то говорил, что японский язык там кривой-косой, гонорифики не используют, вежливости нет. Брехня. Отличный тут японский язык, много бунго конструкций, много вежливости, много стилизации как в том же Сэкиро или там других играх про Сэнгоку. Так что если вы изучаете японский и знаете его где-то на N4, то очень советую попробовать, аутентично. Архитектура и прочая воссозданы приемлемо для фанфика, я не искусствовед, поэтому каких-то совсем мелких косяков не найду, но глаз особо не цеплялся пока, кроме разве что одеяния главных героев, но это мелочи. Кстати, в одном из начальных квестов был неплохой момент, где нужно было пройти чайную церемонию) Оружие Здорово, что в игре весьма много всяких бандюков и солдат с копьями, копья всё-таки использовались очень часто в тот период, катаны даже реже, скорее всего. Жаль с луками не так много народу вижу пока из самураев, ибо это всё же их основное оружие так-то. И, к слову, разработчики молодцы, что не дали Наоэ лук, синоби использовали их редко, да и неудобно с ними стелсить, только представьте себе такое зрелище, синоби с большим японским луком, вот потеха) Видел ещё в первой сцене большое число огнестрела, это в целом правда, активно использовались уже в тот период. Мир Мир же и взаимодействие с ним мне напоминает обычные ассасины последних лет, разве что не дали орла, как в Вальгалле и немножко пореже ведут игрока прям за ручку, иногда надо немного побродить вокруг да около, чтоб найти квест. А так система уровней на врагах есть, маркеры есть, вышки есть, и всякое такое. Так что если вам это объективно не нравится, то лучше скипнуть. Окружение и локации проработаны хорошо, природа очень красивая, леса прям густые попадаются, я удивился, думал, будет три кустика-три деревца, а там реально порой в растительности ничего не видать. Конечно, до Kingdom Come 2 далеко в этом плане, но зрелище приятное. По боёвке По боёвке. За Наоэ тяжко биться на нормальном, враги более-менее адекватные сбивают по полхп одним ударом, поэтому всё строится на парированиях и уворотах, как в соулсах прям. Анимации добиваний какие-то странные у неё, как впрочем и анимации скрытных убийств, не доработали, я считаю. Вот за Ясукэ добивания смотрятся красиво и чётко. По первой сцене, по крайней мере. Дальше у меня его отобрали( Стелс Стелс мне понравился больше, чем в предыдущих играх, можно косплеить солида снейка и ползать(да, добавили ползание) в грязи. Ещё дали кошку-крюк для Наоэ, который используется для подъма на препятствия или раскачивания, чтобы преодолеть обрывы, как при исследовании кофунов(японские гробницы). Враги же при этом не особо умные и, возможно, потом стелсить надоест, но это в целом общая проблемы последних ассасинов. Разное Укрытие и симс элементы я пока особо не распробовал, ничего сказать не могу, гладить зверушек и зарисовывать весьма приятно. Ещё есть всякие культурные записки околоисторические, можно что-то новое узнать о культуре и архитектуре того периода, вроде написано вполне адекватно, но не читал русские и английские варианты. Ещё немного по анимациям пройдусь, есть анимации хорошие, а есть какие-то откровенно кривые, то коллизия с окружениям произойдет и будешь скользить по камну, то запрыгивать неудобно, то ещё чего. Зато есть всякие новые приколы типа динамической смены погоды, интересные элементы во взаимодействии с физикой, как минимум приятно, что если ты зажгёшь факел в гробнице и заденёшь его ногой, то если он упадёт в воду, он потухнет. Как пример. Оптимизация Оптимизация: у меня сейчас i911900 + amd 7800xt, 32gb оперативы, ссд + играю в 1920х1080. В открытом мире норм вполне я там что-то подкрутил, большинство настроек на высоком, какие-то там лучи ещё включены, не знаю, как это называется на других языках, к сожалению. В открытом мире всё неплохо, а вот в городе что-то провисает до 50 иногда. Явно нужно им немножко поработать над этим или же мне настройки скрутить, поизучаю на досуге как у других в городах и поселениях. Итого Пока ставлю игре 75 из 100, посмотрю, как будет дальше, дополню потом обзор. Думаю, если вам всё равно на историчность и вы любите ассасина, то какое-то удовольствие сможете получить. Ну или если любите японский язык, язык тут хороший для изучения. Остальным я бы особо не рекомендовал, но и отрицательную оценку поставить не могу, думал, что будет ещё хуже)

  Подумал, что хоть в этот раз выйдет нормальный АС типа Unity, а не хрючево типа Одиссеи и Вальгаллы. Ошибся. Опять чистить 1000 аванпостов, прокачка со скиллами «повысить урон на 2%», ужасный сценарий, плохая озвучка (японская причем), лицевые анимации из обливиона и стелз в кустах. Ну и вишенка на торте — оптимизация. В игре с графикой 2015 года не может быть 40 фпс с ДЛСС на 4070, ну просто не может. Она реально выглядит хуже Unity, можете скачать и побегать по Парижу, вы сильно удивитесь, как вас скамит современная игровая индустрия и Digital Foundry. А, ну и магазин со скинами)) 2025 гейминг би лайк Я слишком старый для такого одноклеточного геймплея и слишком люблю свое личное время. Юбисофт, пожалуйста, пора уходить. Пора, родной, пора

  Unfortunately the game works only when it wants to actually work. Back on release day I believed that my old setup was the culprit behind frequent menu crashes. The game froze my entire PC every second boot. Happens to old systems, right? No. The game does the same exact crashes now, and it turns out refresh rate of my monitor is too high for the game. Turning it down to 120 fps fixed the issues, until it didn't. Currently I can't boot up the game entirely, not even second time, even with 120HZ. The issue lies somewhere else and I am too tired to work that out. I give up. I won't finish it. I won't buy and play any other Assassin's Creed game.

  Overall, it’s a good game, and I honestly don’t understand the wave of hate that crashed down on it. Yes, I know why it happened. But if you put all that aside, it’s actually quite an interesting game. The story is solid engaging enough. There are plenty of side quests and contracts, and I really like how well they’re put together. The combat system is a mixed bag: sometimes it shines, sometimes it frustrates. Still, it’s flashy, and I’m usually excited to get into a fight rather than annoyed by it. The only real downside for me is the level-gating. High-level areas simply aren’t worth visiting ahead of time. Stealth is the weakest part of the game: sometimes it’s trivial, and sometimes hiding becomes impossible, even when no one is actually looking at you. The world has become more complex and varied - lots of activities, seasonal changes that enhance both visuals and gameplay. Of course, there are bugs. A game of this scale simply cannot exist without them. I’ve never seen a completely bug-free open-world game. Even the much-praised RDR2 is full of bugs - we just tend to overlook them. The music is excellent, though Ubisoft rarely misses the mark in that department. I’d give this game a 7 out of 10 not perfect, but undeniably engaging.

  I have played 138 hours of Assassin's Creed Shadows. This is including both the base game and the Claws of Awaji DLC expansion. I wanted to wait until I finished the main story to write this review- and after doing so, my overall and final perception towards this game is... mixed. I've played every mainline Assassin's Creed game, and it remains to be one of my favorite franchises to this day- this game has not changed that. That being said, there are some things Shadows does well, and some things not so well. What it gets right: Stealth Gameplay Shadows has made welcome changes as far as stealth gameplay goes. It is now possible to go prone, and you are able to utilize shadows (haha) to stay stealthy. If you are standing, crouching, or prone in a place dark enough, enemies will be unable to see you unless they get really close. Enemies now also react to noise more realistically, making you that much more careful about how, where, and when you move, AND they now have the ability to outright deny your assassinations (similar to AC 1) if they are alert enough. Adding on to this, shallow water now makes for a viable hiding spot, and when playing as Naoe, you can unlock a skill that gives you the ability to breathe in said shallow water using a bamboo pipe as long as you're lying still. The classic stealth tools you get as Naoe are still here, such as smoke bombs, bells to distract enemies, kunai for ranged stealth kills, and shuriken for dealing quick damage to enemies in the heat of combat. This AC game takes the one of the core blocks of the series and adds value to it with these small, yet meaningful changes. Combat Gameplay Combat in this game was fun for me, especially when playing as Yasuke. It's fluid, responsive and just plain fun. Enemies have blockable/parryable strikes, then unblockable strikes that you have to dodge. The weapons and abilities you get to play an experiment with as both characters still give you that 'power fantasy' feeling. Setting Feudal Japan is a setting people have wanted in AC for forever, and Ubisoft didn't disappoint in crafting a beautiful world to explore. With the addition of seasons and even dynamic weather that can change on the fly, every corner of Japan changes and looks different as seasons go by. It's just a beauty to walk around or ride on a horse and explore, plain and simple. Buildcrafting Being an RPG, Shadows' buildcrafting is pretty good for what it is. You can mix and match gear and engravings to achieve varying bonuses across different stats and actions. It is entirely possible to make Yasuke, who is meant for more head-on and direct combat, a worthy stealth character (albeit one limited in parkour and freerunning ability, unlike Naoe). I personally did not make much use of this since it hardly ever seemed necessary for me, but the option is there for those who want it. Yasuke and Naoe both have their own unique skill trees, which when combined with the aforementioned allow you to craft playstyles unique to you. Freerunning and Parkour Freerunning and parkour are passable in Shadows. It's fluid, looks great, and doesn't seem to try to fight against you for the most part. Naoe is obviously the point of reference when I say this- Yasuke CAN climb and jump, though not to the same extent as Naoe can. What it gets wrong: RPG Elements "Wait a second, Zer0Burn- didn't you just say a bit ago that buildcrafting was a pro in this game?" Correct- that does not mean I agree with the continued insistence of RPG elements being present in these games. I have no issues with things such as skill trees, or getting stronger weapons- but I am of the belief that gear levels and having to be at a certain level to survive in a specific region is poor design, especially in a series such as Assassin's Creed. Bullet-sponge (or in this case, slash, blunt, and arrow-sponge) enemies simply are not fun to fight in these games. Ubisoft was going in the right direction with Mirage, and then they go right back to the Odyssey-esque RPG style that many people have said is not welcome nor wanted. At the very least, give the players who don't want gear levels an option to disable it or something. Ubisoft did it in Ghost Recon Breakpoint, I don't see why they can't here. But at least it's not nearly as grindy as Odyssey was. Story This is rough. The game has what I'd say is one of the best openings and first acts to an AC game- and then it crashes and burns once the open mission structure is AGAIN introduced. If you're trying to have your game tell a compelling and thoughtful story, this is not how to do it. Because of this style of mission structure, the developers and storywriters have no clue of what order players will assassinate targets in- as a result, any meaningful development of Yasuke and Naoe gets shoved out the window. Their progression as characters does not feel natural at all, it feels like it gets speed-ran for the sake of the narrative. Adding to this, there are LOTS of instances in main story cutscenes where Ubisoft has once again elected to use procedural generation and automated animations ala the Anvil engine- this makes characters look emotionless, generic and stiff, and it confuses me because these are mixed in with pre-rendered cutscenes with actual motion capture, where the emotions and actions of the characters appear much more realistic and impactful. I don't know why this is being considered acceptable, especially with as much of a budget as this game had to work with. Stop with this, Ubisoft. You can clearly pull off having much more motion capture cutscenes in your games. You have no excuse. Adding to this, there must have been two separate teams working on the writing for the two characters, because Yasuke and Naoe's stories vary in quality for me. I personally believe Yasuke is a fantastic character- well-written, enjoyable personality, well-acted and performed, and has a incredible personal journey of self-discovery, purpose, retribution and redemption. I cannot say the same for Naoe, as she barely seems to change in the course of the story- she seems consumed by revenge from start to finish, never seems to develop any change in her fiery personality, and overall her development feels incredibly lacking. Repetitive Side Activities Shadows has side activities in the form of kata and horse archery challenges for Yasuke, where he develops and hones his abilities as a warrior, and kuji-kiri for Naoe, where she meditates to focus and bring her mind to peace. And both characters have access to shrine and lost page activities. These are supposed to signify and show Yasuke and Naoe's mental strength and capability to learn new techniques, which they unlock in their skill trees in the form of Knowledge Points- but for me, it just felt like I was checking boxes off as I progressed through regions. These activities were nice the first few times, but they got very repetitive, very annoying, very quickly to the point where I enabled automatic QTEs for the kata and kuji-kiri activities. It's not fun- not for me, anyway. Hideout I don't like town-building games in the first place, so I most definitely didn't enjoy having one built into this game. The Hideout is cool to develop and all- until you need to spend hours scrounging up the resources to upgrade one building. The worst part is that in some cases, upgrading the Hideout is MANDATORY to progress in the game. It doesn't matter if you don't like it- there will inevitably be times where you have to engage with the Hideout. This was annoying to do for Ravensthorpe in Valhalla when I played that game four or five years ago. It is no different here.

  I think I have a pretty decent PC, but I can't run this game at a stable 60 FPS without Frame Generation no matter the settings. I've tested other games and they run at high frame rates, so I don't think it's my PC. I'm guessing it's either a bug or there's something I'm missing, but I highly doubt it's something on my side.

  If I've said it once, I've said it 1,000 times, no one f***ing cares about the animus B-story. Leave it out. Get rid of it. Ubisoft, its been done and the serialized plot strings have been tied. There is no reason to continue shilling out terrible B-story Animus plot-lines in these games. Noe's facial animations and voice acting are robotic. Yasukei is practically useless. The gameplay performance is atrocious. The plot is so mundane, skipping through every skippable cut scene makes no difference to the playthrough. You better enable frame-gen or else you'll suffer the terribly low framerates and latency this sludge of an experience sh**s out. This game is just as much a step back in performance and mechanics as AC Mirage.
