Assassin’s Creed Shadows : Review

Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Assassin's Creed Shadows is the latest installment of the Assassin’s Creed Franchise, which was released on 20 Mar, 2025. This game brings us to 15th Century Japan where you control two characters, one is a Ninja girl known as "Naoe" which is traditional style AC character with stealth, hidden blade and the grappling hook, distraction and parkour and other is a samurai known as "Yasuke" which is heavy but more powerful and can take a lot of enemies with him but he is limited in terms of his movements compared to Naoe. Both charters have their own progression, stats, skills and gear at certain point in the game with either character.

What do gamers have to say about this

As we have seen in the past about Ubisoft Assassin's Creed Franchise, people have both positive and negative feedback for the game, but the hardcore fans of AC gameplay has stuck to the franchise no matter the installment, but there has been some serious critics involved too who will not speak good about the game anyway. We have conducted survey and asked the players who actually played the game and have concluded that around 80% of the people liked this installment. Apart from it being developed and published by Ubisoft, the game has generated more sales in the first three weeks in US than any other game, so for Ubisoft that's the good news, no wonder why Ubisoft is sticking to its Assassin Creed franchise despite its other less popular games.
