The reason why I quit Assassin's Creed Shadows is because when I did the first two strongholds, I encountered every single enemy that I would encounter for the rest of the game.

After seven or eight hours is that this game is a festering pile of shit. It just is. It's boring. It's absolutely boring.

If you were already happy with modern AC games and you just wanted another one, then I think you're going to enjoy yourself with Shadows. But if you were looking for more than that, then unfortunately, you're not going to find it here.

I do think that Shadows is a step in the right direction. Shadows is not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, but I think it's a good game and I think they're doing some interesting things.

I think this is a solid title, more solid than I expected, but doesn't really hit exactly where I personally would want. So, if you're thinking about getting this game and you're okay with those caveats, I would say, well worth it.

Unfortunately, for the game I guess I have to say that I don't recommend this one. I jumped back and forth between giving it a Buy on sale or a do not recommend.

compared to like say ghost of sushima this this is not nearly as appealing to me as ghost of sushima was... I just I need a little bit more combat depth than that I think to really Draw Me In

I'm having more fun playing this than I was with Mirage like with Mirage during the preview event I dipped out like I think I played for like an hour and I'm like yeah I've seen enough I'm done

overall I was pleasantly surprised with shadows so far it felt better than Valla by a good amount especially when it comes to where Valla was for the preview and this game especially when it comes to combat for either character and the more robust combat system
