Ubisoft's very existence and a corporate takeover might depend on this games' performance.

Last couple of trailers and footage has looked great.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I mean...a smaller more focused Assassin's Creed could be a good thing.
Ubisoft kinda needs this win tbh.

 

[Represent.]

It looks fantastic

 

[RafterXL]

Origins = 81
Odyssey = 83
Valhalla = 80

From everything I've seen, no shot it's 10 points higher than those games. Frankly, I'm expecting the usual suspects to use the Yasuke political shit to prop this game up like they did with Veilguard, but even then I'd be shocked if it hit 90.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

From whom, Leana Hafer or Skill-Up?

 

[Loomy]

You could argue the same the other way too. There'll be people using his inclusion as a reason to knock it down.

If Veilguard got 80 then no reason to assume this can't do high 80s. The game will get free points for inclusivity, so really if it's a game that deserves an 80 then we could see it bumped up to 85+. Remember, to woke media games like this are very important in order to keep pushing inclusivity forward. We are literally seeing some gaming media openly say that not having enough inclusivity is a con in a game.

Gamers sure, but not gaming media.

 

[Loomy]

Gamers sure, but not gaming media.

Fair enough. I think what we'll find is gamers just want a good AC game. I hope this is it.

 

[LectureMaster]

Press scores means not much to me those days. I'll trust the Steam user reviews by a lot shot to reflect the actual quality (if there aren't external factors like performance issues).

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

I think this game will become one of the best selling AC games in recent years and probably will review well based on what I’ve seen.

But it will get bashed like crazy because of the DEI nonsense.

 

[Seomel]

What are the chances reviewers finish the game lol

 

[Danjin44]

Score doesn't mean shit to me either I like the game or I dont......It can get 10/10 but that wont make me automatically like the game.

 

[Gaiff]

Low to mid 80s. I say 83. No shot at 90.

 

[Tomeru]

I mean The Veilguard reviewed well.



Just saying.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I mean...a smaller more focused Assassin's Creed could be a good thing.

That was mirage, not this game, and mirage was very mediocre.

 

[drganon]

Cool. Still not buying it.

 

[RafterXL]

You literally couldn't argue that because there aren't any games journalists like that. There is no such thing as a right wing mainstream media game journalist, it doesn't exist.

 

[Black_Stride]

ITs gonna be an 80s game........and im going to have a blast with it.
I think most of my favorite games are always in the 70s or 80s.
When I see a game getting 90s i go in expecting to be absolutely blown away.....but my expectations are always too high.

 

[Roufianos]

Doubt it, lots of previews were negative. 80-83 would be my guess.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Assassins Creed always reviews well and is always mediocre.
This will be no different.

 

[Boss Mog]

In a world of woke activists posing as journalists, high review scores don't mean much.

its because u so power
thx for such power and enjoy the game indeed

 

[Pelao]

I'm expecting from AC Shadows a situation similar to the last Dragon Age. Decent reviews and Steam CCU numbers at launch, only for it all to collapse in less than a week when people realize how mediocre the game actually is and that the reviewers lied to them again.

 

[balls of snow]

Get that 85 ubi.

 

[Silver Wattle]

Typical MSM, they are entirely irrelevant .

 

[SJRB]

Literally nothing shown so far makes it seem like a low 90s game, but let’s keep an eye on the activist “journalists” and see what happens.

78 is my guess. Just fine to play until better things come along.

When do the reviews drop?

 

[Kumomeme]

gonna get review bombed by users.

 

[yogaflame]

Reviews are always subjective. And you cannot trust reviews from game journalist anymore especially with woke agendas being push and force. You have to trust your own instinct, conscience and discern.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Did we really get to the point where reviewscores are getting rumors?

That's a new low.

 

[Bernardougf]

Im shocked...

See rofif ... told ya

I agree with you man. So far I haven't seen anything that blows my mind. That being said, Assassin's Creed games when it comes to gameplay footage look better or worse depending on the person playing the game. If you go to YouTube and look at some of these youtubers that play without HUD and make awesome gameplays, then you can appreciate how good the game can look if played right. These are games that dont look right if you play it wrong

The review embargo if I recall correctly its on the 18th

 

[Physiognomonics]

Valhalla was already way too overrated by the paid critics. I expect similar general shilling for this one. They must save ubisoft, to save themselves.

Users scores will give us a much better perspective on this game.

 

[xenosys]

The last AC game to even hit a high 80 was Black Flag 12 years ago. Only 3 games in the entire series have hit an 85 or above and they were all 10-15 years ago. Commercially successful games for sure. Critically? Not so much.

Gonna go for something between 83 and 85.

I expect 85-87 at the very, very best.

Not that i give a fuck about reviews but it is fun to play "guess the score"

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

I hear you can smash a few wooden chairs. This insult to Japanese culture may affect it's score.

 

[GymWolf]

Only youtube grifters are gonna detract point for political reason and their scores have no value in the mc.

Modern regular media would cut their balls off (if they still have them) before detracting points because yousucke is in the game.

A male feminist left activist wet dream turd like the other worlds got an 85mc...

 

[yamaci17]

thx i hope it is 85

i enjoy 85 games much more than 90+ games some reason

 

[Moses85]

 

[GymWolf]

thx i hope it is 85

I enjoyed many 7\10 more than supposedly 95\100 games.

 

[keefged4]

"Video game journalists" lol

 

[TrebleShot]

lol yes because we all use reviews to gauge quality these days.

 

[HRK69]

We are so back

 

[ManaByte]

I mean...a smaller more focused Assassin's Creed could be a good thing.

You mean like Mirage? The game everyone refused to play for reasons but was the best AC game in years?

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I think this is the one I’ll buy Day 1. Haven’t done that since Black Flag. They’re putting the time in to polish and save the company. I only have Valhalla cause of a buy 2 get 1 Target deal and I’ve only played about 10min of it.

 

[Aurelius]

I hope this game drags Ubisoft and all those lying journalists down with it.

 

[Topher]

You mean like Mirage? The game everyone refused to play for reasons but was the best AC game in years?

Or there could actually be reasons such as it was just boring and the main character wasn't very likable. So no, it wasn't "the best AC game in years" for many. It was the worst.

I'm one of the biggest fans of AC series and I really like the lore and always keep myself updated

however ac mirage to me was the WORST AC game I've ever played

Same. Love AC. Mirage just wasn't good though.
