Reviews say Assassin's Creed Shadows is great

[AILAD]

Looks way better than this. Those who refunded Ronin should check out Shadows. Or if you're thinking about buying this Sahdows might be the better option.

There is more to the word "gameplay" than the 1v1 combat loop. Team Ninja fans really need to stop using it that way,

Also, I don't care about graphics fidelity that much. But I do want to play a game that looks good. Art direction, art style, smooth animations, and acceptable graphics all play a role. Ronin is bad on all these fronts.

No one is talking about cookin minigames when they say gameplay

They should be talking about gathering cats and taking photos though, cause there is a ♥♥♥♥ ton of it.

Yeah that is kind of an annoying part of this game but at least you can send cats to get mats and gear. The photo ♥♥♥♥ seems pointless though.

Taking photos unlocks Intelligence points you can buy, and also count towards the completion percentage, which also unlocks skill points. All these menial tasks add up real fast. Cats also unlock Charm points.

In the first area, I couldn't be arsed with any of it, but when I reached the second one, I decided to take the game a little bit more seriously. So I went around gathering cats, taking photos, finding shrines/chests, doing the training challenges and 100% most areas. Low and behold, my damage and defense almost doubled, which explained why I struggled with the act 1 last boss. All this side content is optional only in the most technical of senses.

Collectibles is the least of Ubisoft games problem if they were fun with a solid combat feel.

Unfortunately it just feel like playing with play-doh. One of the worst combat-feels you can find in an action games since Origins, the ARPG thing really doesn't work in their games.

I would play Shadows if the combat wasn't so garbo.

Because this game is already out on PS5? Shadows literally just released on everything and still can't beat Monster Hunter Wilds which has been out for over a month.

At it's peak MHW had over a million CONCURRENT players on Steam alone, AC Shadows hasn't even managed 100k yet.


All time peak of 60,086 is lower than Dragon Age The Veilguard managed (all time peak of 89,418) and that game absolutely tanked.

You didn't need to put the bar that high, lol. Monster Hunter Wilds is set to outsell all of Ubisoft's games.

If shadows is better then why are you here, shouldn't you be playing shadows

Why would you care about lower player peak in a single player game.

If Ass Creed was so good, why are they already giving it away for free?

That's common marketing, Ghost Recon AW, Far Cry 1, Splinter Cell, Half-Life 2, DOOM 3, BM Wukong, and many many other games have been given away as part of GPU bundles and other hardware deals.

They don't give them for free, you are just not the one paying for it.
