Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a fun game with improved mechanics and a detailed recreation of 16th century Japan.
However, the game's history lessons are presented in long and dry text, which can be boring to read.
Previous Assassin's Creed games had a good balance of historical accuracy and fictional missions, with informative codex entries.
Shadows lacks the character and humor present in previous games, and fails to provide sufficient background information on major historical figures or fictional characters.
