Without spoilers, i’m really enjoying it. It simplified the lengthy RPG mechanics the older games had, and the story is a major improvement imo. Stealth is also way more prevalent here (but if you preferred the Valhalla route of combat mainly you can do that too). Parkour is awesome too, but the wilderness could use some work. It still inherits a few flaws from the RPG titles, but it’s very much a return to form for the franchise

Oooh, AC Shadows. Not going tonread anything as I want to play it (someday), but how are you liking it? Would like a non-spoilory review.

Non-spoilery review: It’s cool.
I kinda like all AC games but I also really enjoy this one. I love playing a stealth assassin and Naoe (the Japanese girl) perfectly fit that gameplay as she is not made for frontal assault.
The other character is also nice to sometimes have a one man army, if you want to disconnect your brain and just go head on an enemy group, it is a welcome change of pace when you want that.
Ubi’s Open World are graphic wonders as always but this one is a step above. I am really used toto 4K HDR gaming and this game is probably the best looking one I have on my PC.
As a side note, I took a Ubi+ for one month to play it and will buy the game when there is a discount.

I like playing as Yosuke too, but it’s hard to keep playing as him as it’s an Assassins creed game so much of the open world relies on being agile and climbing, which he can do somewhat but not enough that I don’t need to switch to Naoe (really fun doing a leap of faith with him though, I expected they’d just spawn me on the ground). It is nice being a one man army and all but really, his only use value is when I want to have an easy fight and the handful of quests/activities that necessitate him. His character doesn’t feel like an afterthought but he doesn’t feel like his play style is fully utilized.
Generally, I’m still happy with having the two different characters for different gameplay, but I just wished I had more reason to play as both instead of sticking to one and switching when it’s necessary.
