"From the very first hours of the game, it's impossible not to be carried away by the visual spectacle, the impeccable soundtrack and the refined gameplay, which make every fight, every peek into the shadows and every discovery a little masterpiece. Naoe and Yasuke are not just protagonists, but icons who will live on in players' memories. If you love the Assassin's Creed franchise, you're sure to be enchanted! Those who don't identify with the franchise may nevertheless be enchanted by the game, which represents a significant evolution in the series. Shadows is a giant leap forward, a true colossus that proves that Ubisoft still has a lot of cards up its sleeve. It's a game that will allow you to lose yourself in hours of gameplay and, above all, will linger in your memory for a long time!"

IGN Japan - refuse to review it

IGN Rest of the world - don't listen to the haters or the doubters or that tiny number of people who have said it disrespects Japan and their culture. This is a glorious return to form for the series and well worth your time, effort and money. 96/100

8/10 from Console Creatures

"Assassin's Creed Shadows provides an unexpected amount of player agency against the Feudal Japan backdrop fans of the series have wanted for ages. Two fleshed out characters come together to deliver one of the best stories in the series yet."

I want the darts back that sends the guards bat shit crazy and they start attacking other enemies.

Anything like that this time?

Reading one line reviews seems like it's more of the same, so if you like Odyssey and Valhalla you'll probably like this, if not... well, better wait for Black Flag Remake I guess...
I'll play it whenever it gets into a deep deep discount.

It still feels surreal to me that my dream setting for an AC game was used not for the typical AC style I used to love, but instead it was used in a Witcher 3 wannabe that was never going to actually be as good as The Witcher.
Never in my wildest dreams I ever thought this was going to happen to this franchise.

"Despite some repetition and bloat that makes Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ final stretch drag more than the rest of the game excites, its brave approach to exploration in a gorgeous world, heartfelt personal stories, and satisfying tweaks to the formula still make it stand as one of my favourite entries yet. While no one can say if Shadows will be the all-timer hit that both Ubisoft and the series need right now, I can at least say that it’s more than worthy of your time."


This from TheGamer who were saying you are racist if you question the black samurai. I guess it's just a typical Ubi game, nothing more, nothing less. You simply can't expect Ubi to go above and beyond to really innovate their formula that they have been milking since time immemorial.
